At Henkell best times are not the focus. Of course there is an award ceremony. But above all, you gain special moments and a great time alone or with your friends. Whether you run a half marathon or marathon is up to you and can be decided on the spur of the moment. Wine tastings (including non-alcoholic) are compulsory. You enjoy nature and historic sceneries, discover regional delicacies at the refreshment stations and let yourself be enchanted by the hospitality of the Rheingau wine estates.
At Henkell leads you right through the Rheingau – past vineyards, historic castles and the Rhine, with at least ten refreshment stops as little festivals, where sports nutrition, mandatory wine tastings (including non-alcoholic) and local specialities await you, while your wine glass is ready in the shoulder bag. Pure savour over 21.1 or 42.2 kilometers.
