About the race
The Leipziger Südraum-Marathon is a unique team event where two cyclists and one runner complete a classic marathon distance together. The course covers approximately 42 kilometers through the Leipziger Neuseenland, an area shaped by former opencast mining. Teams can strategize by frequently switching roles between running and cycling, but shortcuts and carrying runners on bikes are forbidden.
This event uniquely combines landscape exploration, athletic challenge, and team experience. The 27th edition will start on Saturday, September 12, 2026.
