Register now for Frankfurt and save

This year, too, Germany’s oldest city marathon promises to be a very special running experience. Over 27,000 participants are expected again this year at the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon. In good weather, up to 350,000 spectators will join in, who can experience over 80 action points with bands and music groups along the marathon route. On the last weekend in October, the banking metropolis traditionally turns into Frankfurt’s largest street festival.

The unchanged, flat route promises best times for elite athletes and amateur athletes alike. “We deliberately offer a big runner’s festival for everyone, that applies to the top athletes at the top, to the ambitious amateur athletes and to all the runners who simply enjoy running through such an exciting city as the metropolis on the River Main without car traffic.”

This year, in addition to amateur sport, top-class sport will once again find a perfectly organized stage in the banking city. The masterful organization will once again be crowned this year by the award of the “World Athletics Elite Label” by the International Athletics Federation. This means that the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon will once again be one of the top marathon races in the world in 2024.

At the 41st edition of the oldest German city marathon, participants can once again expect an unforgettable running weekend for the whole family. The “marathon mall” sporting goods fair opens its doors on Friday and is open until Sunday. Here, endurance enthusiasts can find out about the latest trends, just have a look around and get inspired, or consume the exhibitors’ products directly.

The popular Fattoria La Vialla – Toscana Pasta Party will also take place again. Here, guests can load up on carbohydrates the day before the marathon and chat with other runners in an atmospheric atmosphere or watch the show acts on stage. If you want to go for another relaxed run around the Main on Saturday, the free pretzel run powered by interair is just the thing for you. The five-kilometer run takes place at a relaxed pace – delicious pretzels and the unique pretzel-shaped medal await at the finish.

For all those who are not yet brave enough to take on the full marathon distance, there will also be the opportunity in 2024 to start the relay marathon as a quartet of runners and get a taste of the marathon atmosphere. The mini marathon and the Struwwelpeter run are aimed at running-enthusiastic children aged 5 to 17. Of course, the little ones will also run into the magnificently lit festival hall.

Anyone who has not yet registered and wants to save money needs to hurry. Because the second registration phase for the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon ends on June 30th. On July 1st, the participation fee will increase to 129 euro. So far, more than 8,000 marathon runners have already secured their starting place.

Until June 30th, there is also the inexpensive option of registering a quartet of runners for the relay marathon for 184 euros. For all those who want to get a taste of the marathon atmosphere but don’t (yet) feel confident about completing the full 42.195 kilometers, the relay marathon is just the thing. The atmospheric route is completed in teams of four. On July 1st, the participation fee for the relay marathon increases to 204 euros.
