18. WINTER! MARATHON CLARA-PARK LEIPZIG
The 18th Winter Marathon will be held on January 16, 2027, in Clara-Park Leipzig. This event features a unique team format where three runners collectively complete a marathon or half marathon, not as a relay, but simultaneously.
The team's total time is considered for the ranking, and each finisher receives a certificate and is listed in the results. Teams can choose to finish after the half marathon distance. Separate rankings exist for men's teams, women's teams, and mixed teams. An additional 'Ü150' category is available for the marathon distance for older runners, requiring the sum of the ages of the three team members to be at least 150.
A team exchange is available on the website for those seeking teammates. The course runs through Clara-Zetkin-Park, past the racecourse, and through the 'Nonne'. It consists of a flat 4.2 km loop on paved and partially asphalted paths, to be completed ten times for the marathon. Aid stations are available at the end of each lap, with showers and changing facilities nearby. The organizer reserves the right to make changes to the exact course layout.
