The Monschau Marathon is a marathon that has been held annually since 1977 on the 2nd Sunday in August in the outskirts of the city of Monschau , located in the northern Eifel near the Belgian border. The run is organized by TV Konzen 1922 e. V.
161 athletes took part in the first marathon. The number of finishers rose to over 500 runners (early 1990s) to 1636 marathon runners and walkers (2001). For the 40th anniversary marathon in 2016, 500 marathon runners and 247 ultra runners crossed the finish line.
The route changed several times and has only been unchanged since 1989. In addition to Konzen , where the start and finish is located, she also visits the old town of Monschau and the towns of Widdau , Kalterherberg and Mützenich . A large part of it leads over forest paths, the rest of the way the runners cover on asphalt and short passages on paths. The height difference to be overcome is 760 m.
On Saturdays, cyclists have the opportunity to ride the route under a guide. The race for runners and walkers always takes place on Sundays. In addition, a guided tour in the area is offered for Nordic walkers on this day . There is also a pasta party the evening before the race.
Ultra marathon
In 2006 the marathon was supplemented by a relay race with three changing points (Widdau km 10, Brather Hof km 21 and Kalterherberg km 30) and since 2012 the ultra run with 56 km has been part of the event. The ultra run begins approx. 2 hours before the marathon and leads over a 14 km long route through the High Fens and then leads to the marathon route.
From 2017 the Monschau-Ultra will be one of 7 races in the European Ultramarathons Cup .
