The Mandø Marathon draws approximately 500 runners to the little North Sea island of Mandø in Denmark.

Located in the Wadden Sea National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island is surrounded by vast mudflats and tidal marshes.

At low tide, Mandø can be reached by car or tractor bus via a 4km-long (and 60cm-high) unpaved causeway which connects the island with the Jutland Peninsula.

The event offers the following races:

 Race distance
Start time
Number of finishers 2014
2.2km children's race (Børneløbet) 10.30 57

21.1km half marathon (Halvmarathon) 12.00 109
42.2km full marathon (Helmarathon) 11.00 27

 

Participants in the full marathon run four laps of a mostly flat route on asphalt and gravel roads around the island. The half marathon is two laps.

Last year, the marathon winners were Danni Callesen (3:04:50) and Heidi Johansen (3:22:44).
