The Flensburg liebt dich Marathon is an annual running event held each September in the scenic harbor city of Flensburg, Germany, celebrating community spirit and athletic passion since its inception in 2017. The event features a wide range of race distances to suit all ages and fitness levels, including a full marathon, half marathon, relay marathon, 10 km, 5 km, a Kids’ Run, and a Bambini race. Runners follow a picturesque course that loops through Flensburg’s historic old town, along the waterfront, and past landmarks like the Nordertor and Sonwik Marina. The flat, multi-lap course encourages both personal bests and first-time finishes, supported by enthusiastic spectators and volunteers. With thousands of participants and a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere, it has grown into one of Northern Germany’s most beloved regional running festivals.
