Running here as a visitor

The hardest part of training somewhere new isn't the route — it's not knowing anyone. This is who is in Germany over the next three months: runners who live here, and runners passing through.

Running in Germany: the long reads

The things a race listing can't tell you — what the conditions actually cost you, where people really run, what to carry, and what running is like in every state on the map. 2 guides, 16 minutes of reading.

The conditions

Eleven years of records for Hamburg, in the one Verus climate guide where the constraint isn't heat — it's rain, in every single month, and a summer that barely gets warm.

Running in Hamburg: The Climate, and the Haspa Marathon Hamburg's running climate is wet rather than hot: even August, its warmest month, averages only 23.3°C, while every single month sees 9.6-14.8 rain days — there's no dry season here to plan a training block around. The Haspa Marathon Hamburg, a World Athletics Gold Label race since 2019, has run since 1986 and returns for its 41st edition on 25 April 2027. 7 min read

Where to run

The Außenalster loop that gives the city its running identity, plus Stadtpark and the Elbe waterfront for when you want fewer people or a change of scenery.

Where to Run in Hamburg: The Alster Loop, Stadtpark and the Elbe The Außenalster loop — roughly 7.4km by Hamburg's own tourism board, 7.5km by route trackers, flat, with stone markers every 500m from Café Cliff — is the city's default running route, and literally the IRONMAN Hamburg run course, covered four times. Stadtpark and the Elbe waterfront paths are the two genuine alternatives when you want fewer runners, a softer surface, or open water in view instead of a lake. 9 min read
