hella Hamburg half-marathon

Half marathon across the city of Hamburg

In 2025, the 31st hella Hamburg Half Marathon will lead runners through the city of Hamburg. On a distance of 21.0975 kilometres they prove their running talent. This year, the starting signal will be given on the 29th June.

With over 10,000 runners last year, all participant records were easily broken. In 2023, at least this many athletes are expected to start. This makes the hella hamburg half-marathon one of Germany’s largest races of this type.

As every year, the skaters will begin at 9:30 a.m. and cover a distance of 21.1 km. At 10:00 a.m. on the dot, the starting shot for the runners will sound. Their course will take them on a sight-seeing tour through the Reeperbahn, past the Altona Rathaus, the Fischmarkt, the Alster or the jetty.

Unique weekly market in Eppendorf Isemarkt

Those who want to do their weekly groceries at the market usually should better be morning persons. But the Hamburger Isemarkt even gets the late risers out of bed to buy fresh and regional products. 

Every Tuesday and Friday at dawn the Isestraße turns into a paradise of market stalls. The highlight of this market is not only its spectacular range of stalls but also its special location: The Isemarkt runs along one kilometer underneath the bridge of the Hochbahn of the line U3 from Hoheluftbrücke to Eppendorfer Baum.  

There is nothing that you can’t purchase

Among the more or less 200 retailers there is nothing that you can’t purchase. From fish to juicy apples from the old land, colorful flowers, aromatic cheese and exotic tee up to sweet herbs and delicious vegetables locals can get everything they need for their daily life as well as what brings little joy to life. Even lyric from Hamburg is offered to the customers – if you’re lucky presented in a live performance.  

Strolling around and drinking coffee

Even if you don’t have anything urgent on your shopping list, it’s always a pleasure to visit the market just for strolling around and drinking coffee. In between the numerous retailors and visitors a very special atmosphere arises, one that can’t be found at the 100 other markets in the city.
