Bienwald marathon

Michael Sommer , marathon winner 1997 and 2012

The Bienwald-Marathon is a marathon in Kandel , Rhineland-Palatinate , which has been held every year since 1976 (usually on the second weekend in March) by TSV 1886 Kandel e. V. is organized. It is now a classic among marathons, known for its fast route. The program includes a half marathon (21.0975 km), which has now surpassed the full distance (42.195 km) in popularity.

history

On March 27, 1976, the Bienwald Marathon was held for the first time (77 men at the finish). Women have participated since 1977. In 1983 the largest number of participants was reached with more than 1000. Of these, 940 reached the destination.

In 1984 and 1989 the German Marathon Championships took place on the route of the Bienwald Marathon , in 1984 with an additional Olympic qualification. In 1984 Ralf Salzmann and Susanne Riermeier set the course records that still exist today, which prove the speed of the course. In 1989 Uwe Hartmann and Birgit Lennartz took the title.

In 1999, a half marathon organized by the same association since 1979 was integrated into the event's program. In 2008, a record number of participants was set with 1960 finishers in both running disciplines.

route

The route is almost completely flat, paved and free of traffic and leads through Kandel, Minfeld and the Bienwald . The half marathon turns off at an early turning loop, while the marathon route leads even deeper into the Bienwald. Shortly before Büchelberg there is a turning point, behind which it goes back to Kandel to the finish in the Bienwald Stadium, largely on paths and roads that have already been run.
