Mainova Frankfurt Marathon

The Frankfurt Marathon, officially known as the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon, is one of Germany’s most prestigious and fastest road races, held each October in Frankfurt. First run in 1981, the event has grown into a major international marathon with a flat, fast course that often produces personal bests and world class performances. Starting and finishing in the city center near the festive run-up to the Messeplatz, the route showcases Frankfurt’s modern skyline, riverside paths along the Main River, and dynamic urban atmosphere, attracting elite athletes and recreational runners from around the world. Alongside the full marathon, the weekend also features a corporate relay run and additional mass participation events, making it a highlight of the European fall running calendar.
