The P-Weg Marathon weekend was first held in Plettenberg in 2004. Under the motto "Plettenberg for Plettenberg", a completely volunteer-organized major sporting event was launched, which has a unique character regionally due to its combination of "Hiking-Running-Biking". Saturday of the event weekend is reserved for "pedestrians", i.e. hikers, walkers and runners who can measure their strength in the Half Marathon, Marathon and Ultramarathon disciplines. Sunday is reserved for bikers, for whom a Marathon, Superbike and Ultrabike course is now available.
The Marathon and Ultramarathon distances largely follow the P-Weg, a circular route that circles the town of Plettenberg once and includes both the four valleys and the associated mountains. Common to all routes is that not a meter is run or ridden twice. The start and finish are a few hundred meters apart in the city center of Plettenberg. The finish line, where every participant is celebrated on a stage by the Plettenberg audience, is certainly unique.
The Kids-Race, which was first held in 2008, is now a firm part of the program, where even the youngest can show their skills in running and biking in the Plettenberg city center in a playful and sporty way on the Friday of the event weekend.
So: Join in! Whether as a helper, spectator or participant. It's worth it!
