Off to the Rügen Bridge Marathon

City, nature, sport and adventure

On Saturday, October 21, it’s that time again: the Sparkassen Rügen Bridge Marathon starts. It is already the 15th edition of this major sporting and social event, which incorporates inner-city sections in Stralsund, the nature of Rügen and Altefähr as well as special architectural highlights such as the Rügen Bridge and brings the region to life. Anyone can take part. In addition to the full marathon course, there is also a half marathon, a 10 km run, a 6 km run and even a 3 km children’s run. Those who prefer to walk rather than run can do so on the DAK Walking and Nordic Walking Day, which takes place at the same time. There are routes over ten and six kilometers. So everyone can take part according to their range, fitness and desire. If you don’t feel like exercising yourself, you can simply watch, cheer on or take advantage of the many games and leisure activities on offer along the route. The whole region will be on its feet to provide athletes, hobby runners and families with an unforgettable day. Many sections of the route are easily accessible from the Hotel Kontorhaus. Surrounded by canals, the Strelasund, plenty of restaurants, the harbor and the Ozeaneum, the Hotel Kontorhaus offers relaxation and enjoyment away from the route as well as short distances to the historic old town. The weekend of October 20 to 22 is the ideal weekend getaway for sports enthusiasts, adventure travelers and city tourists. There’s something going on everywhere.
