Concept

Experience savour on the run!

At the Henkell 0.0% the focus is not on re­cord times. Of course, there is an award ceremony. Above all, you gain spe­cial mo­ments and a won­der­ful time for your­self or to share with your friends. The de­ci­sion whe­ther to run a half mar­a­thon or mar­a­thon can be made spon­ta­ne­ously – or you can choose the 8 km short dis­tance in ad­vance.

Short-dis­tance run­ners cross the fin­ish line at Schloss Johannisberg (Johannisberg Castle), half mar­a­thon run­ners in Hattenheim – both set in the pic­tur­esque Rheingau wine re­gion. Mar­a­thon run­ners cel­e­brate their fin­ish at Schloss Henkell (Henkell Castle) in Wies­ba­den-Bieb­rich, to­ge­ther with all run­ners at the fin­ish­er buf­fet and fin­ish­er par­ty. You en­joy na­ture and his­tor­i­cal sce­nes, dis­cov­er re­gion­al de­li­ca­cies at the savour sta­tions and let your­self be charmed by the hos­pi­tal­i­ty of the Rheingau wine es­tates.

Course

The Henkell 0.0% Vinothon takes you right through the Rheingau – past vine­yards, his­tor­ic cas­tles and the Rhine, with at least ten re­fresh­ment stops as lit­tle fes­ti­vals, where sports nu­tri­tion and lo­cal treats from the wine re­gion Rhein­gau a­wait you – for 8 km, there are five savour stations. Pure savour over 8, 21.1 or 42.2 ki­lo­me­ters.

Changes and ad­just­ments to the route are sub­ject to of­fi­cial ap­prov­al.


Start and finish at Schloss Henkell (Henkell Castle):
A shut­tle takes you to the start in Rüdesheim. In start groups you run with the Nie­der­wald­denk­mal be­hind you, vine­yards on the left and the Rhine on the right. On the route you pass Geisenheim and reach Schloss Voll­rads (Vollrads Castle). In Oestrich-Winkel the view opens to Wies­ba­den, with the 8 km finish at Schloss Johannisberg (Johannisberg Castle). The half mar­a­thon mark is passed in Hattenheim; short-distance and half mar­a­thon run­ners re­turn by shut­tle back to Schloss Henkell (Henkell Castle) and cel­e­brate there with spar­kling wine and re­gion­al del­i­ca­cies. For mar­a­thon run­ners the course con­tin­ues via Erbach to Eltville am Rhein, through Walluf and flat along the riv­er­bank to Schiersteiner Hafen. Through the Schloss­park of Biebrich (Biebrich Palace), the fi­nal climb leads into the Ehren­hof of Schloss Henkell (Henkell Castle).
