The Race
Kassel
The Kassel Marathon was founded in 1995, during the golden age of mass-participation running. Now 31 years old, it has established itself as a beloved fixture in Kassel, growing from its early editions into a race with genuine character and loyal following.
Runners come to the Kassel Marathon for one reason: personal bests. The flat, fast course through Kassel has a reputation as a PB factory, with the roads seemingly designed to keep your pace honest and your splits consistent from start to finish.
