Dusseldorf Marathon

The Düsseldorf Marathon is one of Germany’s standout city marathons and a flagship running event in western Germany, bringing participants into the heart of Düsseldorf for a large-scale race weekend built around speed, atmosphere, and urban scenery. Organized by D.LIVE GmbH & Co. KG, with D.SPORTS serving as the event organizer, the race has returned as a prominent fixture on the city’s sports calendar and is now presented as the Uniper Düsseldorf Marathon. Held in Düsseldorf, Germany, the event gives runners the chance to experience a mostly flat and highly watchable course that starts directly on the Rhine at Joseph-Beuys-Ufer and finishes at Untere Rheinwerft, creating a route that is both visually distinctive and well suited to strong performances. The weekend is designed as a full running festival rather than a marathon-only event, with a half marathon, marathon relay, and youth races expanding its appeal to a broad field of participants. That structure makes Düsseldorf especially attractive for runners traveling with friends or family who may want different race options while still sharing the same event experience.
