The race at a glance

Route and elevation

TV Bühlertal’s Hornisgrinde Marathon page still carries its notice that it could not organise another edition in 2020 after losing its usual venue arrangement. The page does not announce a new marathon date.

  • The organizer identifies loss of the ski-hut venue as the reason for the suspension.
  • The notice says no practical short-term alternative venue was found.
  • No current full-marathon registration is established by that historical notice.

Race guide

The club’s notice concerns the ability to stage the event, rather than a participant-facing race-week change. It should not be converted into a recurring annual date. An old calendar entry, course map or results archive may describe the former marathon without showing that a new edition has been organised.

If an external listing suggests the marathon has returned, confirm the named edition with TV Bühlertal and look for a current registration page, venue and distance. A club activity elsewhere or a similarly named run would not automatically be the revived full marathon. Keep any travel commitment flexible until those details agree.

For a current marathon goal, select an active event with a verified full distance and supported date. Compare its terrain and cutoff against your readiness rather than choosing only a nearby location or a familiar historical name. Once you have that race, calculate the preparation window from its actual date and avoid compressing training to fit an assumed Hornisgrinde weekend.

The old organizer page remains useful as a status reference and contact route. It does not provide current entry fees, aid, start access or a future participant timetable. If a new edition is announced later, recheck the venue, course and logistics together because the original interruption was specifically connected to the event base. Until then, treat historical Hornisgrinde material as background rather than instructions for an upcoming race. The venue problem also means an old start address is a poor travel reference. A future announcement would need to identify a usable event base, not merely repeat the historical course name.
