Take a virtual walk to Cologne Cathedral
After the premiere of the virtual Cologne Marathon 2020, the virtual version of the classic marathon is now entering the second round.
The cathedral is the goal! For many years now, the participants in the Cologne Marathon have been running in the direction of Cologne Cathedral. After 2020, the popular marathon through the cathedral city cannot take place as usual this year for pandemic reasons. Instead, the event team relies once again on a virtual Cologne Marathon version. Since October 3rd, the day of German unity and at the same time the actual date of the Cologne Marathon 2021, it has been possible to virtually cover one of the distances offered. In addition to the full marathon, the half marathon is once again part of the Cologne Marathon. You can also start virtually over the 10-kilometer distance. Since the event lasts until October 17th, there is still enough time to tackle the Cologne Marathon in 2021.
More atmosphere thanks to the home run package
In order to create a marathon atmosphere even in difficult times, there is a home run package that can be booked. This includes an original start number, a high-quality event shirt, a beautiful finisher medal, a Kölsch glass and a few small surprises from the event partners. The additional cost is 33 euros. Those who only want to register for the run, on the other hand, only pay nine euros.
Running for the flood victims
In addition to the matching rating, a special rating “Running for the flood victims” is offered this time. You can run on three designated routes in Cologne. All three routes are equipped with timing technology so that you can start at any time with the start number that contains a transponder. You can choose from a 1-kilometer circuit around the meadows at the RheinEnergie Stadium, the home of 1. FC Köln, a 5-kilometer circuit around the Decksteiner Weiher and a 10-kilometer circuit on the banks of the Rhine. Of the 15 euros entry fee that accrues for participating in this special ranking, ten euros will be donated directly. More information about the virtual Cologne Marathon 2021 www.koeln-marathon.de.
