Koberstädter Waldmarathon

The Koberstädter Waldmarathon has been held annually since 1979 on the last Sunday in August in Egelsbach and is organized by the athletics department of SG Egelsbach. The event offers races over 5 km, 10 km and the half marathon (21.1 km) through a scenic, gently hilly woodland landscape. In addition to races for competitive runners, there is also a Bambini run for children in the stadium. Its friendly atmosphere and professional organization make the event popular in the region.

The Bambini run starts at 9:00 a.m. in the stadium and is for children up to nine years old, covering one lap of the track (400 m). Children receive a medal, certificate and gift. Aid stations with drinks and fruit are available approximately every 5 km along the course. The event is part of the Hessian State Championships. A lead bicycle accompanies the fastest runner. Due to increased safety requirements, no marathon is offered. Registration for the Hessian Half Marathon Championships is separate. Distances: Bambini, 5 km, 10 km and half marathon; registration by 22.08.; race number collection on 31.08. from 7:30 a.m.; participation in the Hessian Championships is possible.
