MHV - Nous dirigeons Hambourg
Set sail for Hamburg for a weekend, where the Hamburgers will gladly trade ferries โด๏ธ for sneakers ๐ during the Hamburg Half Marathon (PSD Bank Halbmarathon Hamburg)! After a summer of adventures โ๏ธ, it's time to get back to school ๐จโ๐ซ. The beautiful German city opens up to the world ๐ in the month of September for a unique sporting challenge in the largest port city in Germany! ๐ฉ๐ช The event also includes a race for kids! ๐ง
Want to know more about the course? ๐ค Wait, we'll give you a recap! โก๏ธ The Hamburg Half is quite known for its flat and fast course โก๏ธ, beneficial, right? If you want to go for the PB, it's perfect ๐โโ๏ธ. During the race, you'll pass through iconic districts of the metropolis, like Wandsbek or Rahlstedtt. Keep your eyes open ๐ 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 ๐๏ธ, or the Speicherstadt, the world's largest complex of red-brick warehouses ๐งฑ, listed by the UNESCO. But not everyone can be Hamburg... With its 2,500 bridges ๐, Hamburg is the city with the most bridges in Europe (more than London and Venice combined ๐ฒ). By the way, fun fact: the German city has 14% green spaces which equates to about 14,000 football fields in total! Impressive โฝ๏ธ. Trust me, it's not negligible if you want to catch your breath after those exhilarating 21 km waiting for you ๐ฎโ๐จ.
Speaking of catching your breath, how about treating yourself after the race? ๐ฅฐ Quench your thirst with a Fritz Kola (the delicious German Cola) ๐ฅค, grab a pretzel ๐ฅจ at the finish line and wander in this beautiful cosmopolitan city ๐คฉ. One of the best ways to discover Hamburg is from the water โด๏ธ, surprising! Indeed, several cruise itineraries are available to visit the metropolis โ๏ธ. Still on the theme of water, there is even a lake in the city center: the Alster ๐ง. Quite the trick of the city, rather peaceful and loved by runners with its 7.5 km loop, perfect for Sunday jogs ๐.
So, ready to take the plunge into the deep end in the land of Hansel & Gretel? ๐ฆ Don't be afraid to get wet and embark on this Half Marathon in Hamburg ๐ฉ๐ช.
