Description
The Brocken Marathon in Wernigerode is northern Germany's toughest marathon and is organised as part of the Harz Mountain Run. The course of the Brocken Marathon leads directly through the Harz National Park and over the Brocken summit. So you can already look forward to a unique and challenging running course at the Brocken Marathon.
The Brocken Marathon holds the title of ‘Toughest Marathon in Northern Germany’ for good reason. After all, the Brocken Marathon also involves climbing the Brocken summit, which means that in addition to the 42.195 km, participants also have to conquer over 1,000 metres in altitude. The Brocken summit itself has a high mountain climate (wind, rain, ice and snow), which means that only very well-trained and tough runners should take part in this marathon.
This means that the Brocken Marathon is not a fast marathon, but rather an extremely demanding marathon that requires everything mentally and physically. Of course, this is also reflected in the best times. Steven Lambeck holds the men's course record with a time of 02:39:05 hours. Diana Lehmann holds the women's course record with a time of 03:15:01 hours.
