The event in a few words

Set sail for Hamburg for a weekend, where the Hamburgers will gladly trade ferries ⛴️ for sneakers 👟 during the Hamburg Half Marathon (PSD Bank Halbmarathon Hamburg)! After a summer of adventures ☀️, it's time to get back to school 👨‍🏫. The beautiful German city opens up to the world 🌍 in the month of September for a unique sporting challenge in the largest port city in Germany! 🇩🇪 The event also includes a race for kids! 👧

Want to know more about the course? 🤔 Wait, we'll give you a recap! ➡️ The Hamburg Half is quite known for its flat and fast course ⚡️, beneficial, right? If you want to go for the PB, it's perfect 🏃‍♀️. During the race, you'll pass through iconic districts of the metropolis, like Wandsbek or Rahlstedtt. Keep your eyes open 👀 to admire the beautiful monuments of the city, such as the Michaeliskirche, the most famous baroque church in Hamburg, with a tower offering a breathtaking view over the whole city 🏙️, or the Speicherstadt, the world's largest complex of red-brick warehouses 🧱, listed by the UNESCO. But not everyone can be Hamburg... With its 2,500 bridges 🌉, Hamburg is the city with the most bridges in Europe (more than London and Venice combined 😲). By the way, fun fact: the German city has 14% green spaces which equates to about 14,000 football fields in total! Impressive ⚽️.
