What is the Haspa Marathon Hamburg like?

The Haspa Marathon Hamburg is one of the most watched and fastest marathon races world-wide. The course record is set at  2:05:30 and is helf by Olympic Champion 2016 Eliud Kipchoge. He set the time in 2013, when he still was a little known distance runner. Hamburg was his marathon debut.

The Haspa Marathon is the oldest popular sporting event in Hamburg and Germany’s largest spring marathon. The course is a out-and-back sightseeing tour of the beautiful hanseatic city. The marathon in Hamburg is also known for the one-of-a-kind crowd support. People cheer you on all along the route and make the race a very special experience.

There will be some new features for the 33. edition of the Haspa Marathon Hamburg, Germanys biggest spring marathon on April 29, 2018. We worked on our website and you can see the relaunch from September 9, 2017 at 09.09 am on. The Women’s Race within the Haspa Marathon Hamburg will not take place again in 2018, because the focus of this race is supposed to be more on the marathon runners. However, there will be a new race on the event day. For that you will also find the information from September 9, at 09.09 am on in our new website. So make sure to stop by!

At the 33rd Haspa Marathon Hamburg on 29 April 2018 we will introduce a new category for all participants: The team ranking. The team ranking is aimed at marathon runners that compete under one name or for one team. To take part at the team ranking three runners have to register with the identical team name or club. After the finish, the first three runners of one team with the fastest times will be added.

A women-, men and mixed team ranking will be carried out. This ranking does not require an explicit registration. But all team members have to provide the same team name (with identical spelling) when they sign up. The best teams will be honoured.

Additional rankings at the Haspa Marathon Hamburg

There will be other special ranking carried out during the Haspa Marathon Hamburg. They are:

• Hamburg Championships (Main/Age Groups)*
• Hamburg-Corporate Sports Championships Men,Women
• Hamburg Police Championships Men, Women

*Hamburg Championships Club Ranking: The Hamburg Championships club ranking consists of the added sum of three individual runners (of the same club) finishing times in order of placings. This ranking does not require an explicit registration but simply the participation in the Hamburg Championships as well as providing the respective sports club (identical spelling) during the registration process.
