12. Harztorlauf Marathon
Description
The 12th Harztorlauf will take place on May 3, 2026, in Harztor – an established popular run with a marathon distance of 42.2 km, which was first launched in 2013 and has since developed splendidly as one of the sporting highlights in the South Harz ([harztor.de](https://www.harztor.de/2025/04/05/sportliches-highlight-im-suedharz-am-4-mai-2025/?utm_source=openai)). The number of marathon participants is limited to 200, ensuring a personal and family-friendly running experience ([harztorlauf.de](https://harztorlauf.de/service/anmelden/?utm_source=openai)). The entry fee is €50 for registration until January 31, 2026, and €55 starting from February 1, 2026 ([harztorlauf.de](https://harztorlauf.de/service/anmelden/?utm_source=openai)).
In addition to the marathon, the event offers numerous other competitions such as the half marathon (22.6 km), various 11 km and 5 km runs, Nordic walking, 2 km races for schools and children, as well as a Bambini run, team and school relays – many of which have limited starting fields, some without limits – and even participation with dogs is possible ([harztorlauf.de](https://harztorlauf.de/service/anmelden/?utm_source=openai)). A colorful supporting program with a family festival, games, and fun accompanies the runners, as was the case at the 11th Harztorlauf in 2025 ([harztor.de](https://www.harztor.de/2025/04/05/sportliches-highlight-im-suedharz-am-4-mai-2025/?utm_source=openai)).
The marathon route starts in Sophienhof and leads through the picturesque landscapes of the South Harz; several refreshment points are planned, for example at the Rabensteiner Stollen, at the dam, at the gondola pond, in Ilfeld, and in Steinstraße – perfectly tailored to the needs of the runners ([harztorlauf.de](https://harztorlauf.de/service/anmelden/?utm_source=openai)). The time limit for the marathon is 6 hours, with the start taking place at 9:30 AM with a mass start. The top finishers will receive trophies and certificates, and all participants will also receive an exclusive plaster medal ([harztorlauf.de](https://harztorlauf.de/service/anmelden/?utm_source=openai)).
Registration is also well-structured: it starts online on December 8, 2025, and is open until April 29, 2026. Late registrations are still possible on May 2 and on the event day – for an additional fee – as well as the collection of start numbers both the day before and on the event day ([harztorlauf.de](https://harztorlauf.de/service/anmelden/?utm_source=openai)). This makes the Harztorlauf particularly suitable for SEO-optimized articles: clear target audience (max. participants, family-friendly event, regionality), definite time frame, attractive route description, and diverse participation options.
