The Rhein-Ruhr Marathon, one of Germany's longest-serving city marathons, has been a significant event in Duisburg since its inception in 1981. Over the years, it has attracted more than 100,000 participants, highlighting its enduring popularity. The 2025 marathon is set for Sunday, May 18, and offers multiple race options: the Full Marathon (42.195 km), which is a single-loop course that begins at Kruppstrasse in the Sportpark Wedau, traverses various neighborhoods, and finishes at the Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena; the Half Marathon (21.097 km), which is a segment of the marathon route, providing a shorter distance for participants; and the Relay Marathon, where teams of runners can divide the marathon distance among themselves. The event is renowned for its flat and fast course, making it ideal for both seasoned marathoners aiming for personal bests and beginners seeking to complete their first marathon. Participants can expect enthusiastic support from local communities throughout the route, enhancing the overall experience.
