Concept

Experience savour on the run!

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.

Course

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.

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


Start and finish at Schloss Henkell (Henkell Castle):
A shutt­le bus takes you to the boat land­ing in Biebrich, from there you fer­ry to Rüdesheim and walk to the start. 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, keep Schloss Johannisberg in sight and reach Schloss Vollrads. In Oestrich-Winkel the view opens to Wiesbaden, before you pass the half marathon mark in Hattenheim. Half marathon fin­ish­ers re­turn by boat and shutt­le bus from there back to Schloss Henkell and cel­e­brate with sparkling wine and re­gional deli­ca­cies. For marathon run­ners it con­tin­ues via Erbach to Eltville on the Rhine, through Walluf and flat a­long the riv­er­bank to Schiersteiner Hafen. Through the Schlosspark of Biebrich the fi­nal climb leads into the Ehrenhof of Schloss Henkell.
