Kiel Marathon

Held every year in February in the Baltic Sea port of Kiel in northern Germany, this winter running event attracts a crowd of more than 1,500 hardy runners, mostly from Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The event offers three races — a 10k, a half marathon and a full marathon.
Starting and finishing at the Cruise Terminal Ostseekai in the city centre, the 10k is one lap, the half marathon two laps, and the marathon four laps of a certified and very flat out-and-back course along the Kieler Förde (Kiel Fjord).
