A cycle marathon offers a relaxed road cycling experience on new routes. Cycling clubs throughout Germany usually offer RTF routes as well as cycle marathons. We have selected dates for July 2026. It may be that the marathon distance (at least 200 kilometres) is already fully booked – but there are often still places available for shorter routes.

The cycling clubs affiliated to the German Cycling Federation (German Cycling) organise events throughout the year. A cycle marathon in Germany is at least 200 kilometres long and takes place on public roads. The route is signposted – and there is usually a GPX file available to download. There is no official timekeeping, but there are refreshment stations along the route.

German Cycling Marathon Cup – July

As well as the marathon distance, all the events in the German Cycling Marathon Cup also offer shorter routes. In some cases, there are even laps for gravel bikes.

​4 July Lusatian Lake District Cycling Marathon
The Lausitzer Seenland 100 multi-sport event also includes a cycling marathon. Spread over the 201 kilometres, the route features a total ascent of just under 1,000 metres. The name ‘Seenland’ (Land of Lakes) is certainly apt: there are many lakes right along the route.

11 July: Cycling Marathon – National Cycling Meet, RSV Lippe
Diversity between the Ruhr region and the Münsterland: the 208-kilometre marathon route takes in quiet country lanes and farm tracks, passing through green fields, small woods and several charming villages – all the way to Soest.
