Köhlbrandbrückenlauf 2025

Dreaming of a little trip to Hamburg? 🌇 If you love running, even better! How about adding a new race to your running calendar, and that race is the Köhlbrandbrückenlauf! 🎡 Yes, good luck pronouncing it if you're not German! 😅 To give you a bit more insight, it's a road race spanning 12.3 km right in the heart of Hamburg! 💝 Have you ever run on a suspension bridge? 🌉 No? Well, come October, it’s your chance to participate in the largest "Brückenlauf" (bridge race) in Germany 🇩🇪. Picture yourself, along with about 6,000 other runners, defying gravity and traffic laws as you cross the Köhlbrandbrücke 🥨, a giant 3.6 km long and 53 meters high, linking Hamburg’s port with the Speicherstadt 👀. All of this happens once a year, on German Unity Day. It's like having a VIP spot on a Formula 1 circuit 🏎️, but with sneakers instead of an engine... And if you're wondering why you should go, let us give you a few reasons to lace up your shoes and book your ticket ✈️.

The Köhlbrandbrücke is no ordinary bridge. It's grand, majestic, and almost intimidating 👌. But once you're at the top, with the wind in your hair and a panoramic view of the port, you'll feel like a superhero 🦸‍♂️. Then, let's talk about the city itself. Hamburg is a city rich in history and culture 📚. It’s a place where sailors have tales to tell, and the locals are very welcoming. You can wander through the Speicherstadt, the world's largest warehouse district in redbrick, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site 📰. Or you can lose yourself in the alleys of the St. Pauli district, where pubs never close and pirate stories mix with rock & roll tunes 🎶. And let’s not forget the food scene. In Hamburg, you can enjoy fresh fish 🐟, crispy fries, and currywurst as if they're works of art 🦐.

And even if you're not a professional runner, that's okay. What matters is participating, enjoying the atmosphere, and taking photos 📸 to show off to your friends that you ran on a suspension bridge! 🕺

Get ready for the famous Köhlbrandbrückenlauf! 😁
