The flat, fast Cologne Marathon finishes beneath the Gothic Cathedral on Oct 4, 2026. Just 36m climb, BQ-eligible, first-come entry at €130.
Why attend here
Autumn in Cologne brings crisp air and golden light along the Rhine, perfect for a marathon that weaves through the city's leafy quarters and finishes beneath the towering cathedral. After crossing the finish line on Komödienstraße, warm up with a bowl of hearty Erbsensuppe or a Kölsch at a brauhaus in the Altstadt, and take a leisurely stroll along the river to soak in the season's calm, post-summer atmosphere.
