The Elbdeichmarathon takes runners, walkers and nordic walkers through the wetlands of the Elbe river in the state of Sachsen-Anhalt in Germany.
The event offers five flat and scenic routes: a 500m Kinderlauf for kids, a 4.2k Mini-Marathon, a 10k race (all out and back), a half marathon (one lap) and a marathon (two similar laps).
Starting at the port of Tangermünde, a picturesque medieval town situated approximately 120 kilometres west of Berlin, competitors run on cycleways and roads through farmland and villages and along the embankment of the Elbe, the Elbdeich.
