19. Uniper Düsseldorf Marathon
Description
The Uniper Düsseldorf Marathon on April 26, 2026, returns with a spectacular running festival in the heart of the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia. Under the motto "Run to the Beat," participants can expect an impressive mix of music, emotion, and sporting passion – along the route, at least 30 DJs will provide infectious beats, supported by thousands of spectators who will carry the runners to the finish line. The event originated from the former Metro Marathon, which regularly took place in Düsseldorf since 2003, mostly in late April or early May, and received a fresh boost in 2025 with a new sponsor ("Uniper") and a new concept ([de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCsseldorf-Marathon?utm_source=openai)).
Historically, the Düsseldorf Marathon first started in 2003; until 2019, it mostly took place at the end of April, before being re-established in 2025 with a new operator ([de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCsseldorf-Marathon?utm_source=openai)). The 2025 event marked the restart with a spectacular atmosphere – for 2026, the number of available starting places has been significantly increased: up to 5,000 participants are allowed for the full marathon distance, and for the half marathon, even up to 10,000 ([antenneduesseldorf.de](https://www.antenneduesseldorf.de/artikel/uniper-duesseldorf-marathon-2026-mehr-startplaetze-und-djs-2423618.html?utm_source=openai)).
The course is nearly flat and runs along the Rhine through the city: the start is at Joseph-Beuys-Ufer, and the finish is at Untere Rheinwerft in the heart of the old town ([runinternational.eu](https://www.runinternational.eu/maps/germany/1542-duesseldorf-marathon?utm_source=openai)). The start times are as follows: half marathon in waves starting at 08:00, marathon at 09:45, marathon relay starting at 10:15 ([uniper-duesseldorfmarathon.de](https://www.uniper-duesseldorfmarathon.de/faq?utm_source=openai)). Registration is done online, regularly until April 12, 2026; late registrations are possible from April 15 (starting numbers will not be personalized), cancellations are possible until December 31, 2025 (50% refund with a medical certificate) ([uniper-duesseldorfmarathon.de](https://www.uniper-duesseldorfmarathon.de/faq?utm_source=openai)).
The event offers several competitions: marathon (42.195 km), half marathon (21.0975 km), relay (4 × marathon), as well as Kids Cup and Bambini Cup for the younger generation ([uniper-duesseldorfmarathon.de](https://www.uniper-duesseldorfmarathon.de/faq?utm_source=openai)). The entry fees vary depending on the competition and registration time: for the marathon, they are €80 (places 1–1000), €95 (1001–2000), and €105 from place 2001; relay: €160, €175, €190; half marathon: €60, €75, €90 ([duesseldorfmarathon.de](https://www.duesseldorfmarathon.de/wettbewerbe?utm_source=openai)).
