Trollinger’s vineyard hills and Frankenstadion finish
The course crosses the Neckar and passes Sontheim and Flein before climbing toward Haigern near Talheim. Full-marathon runners continue toward Lauffen and the Brackenheim area while the half marathon turns away. Study that split on the final map and follow the signs for your own distance, even if nearby runners take another branch.
The vineyard profile rewards an effort-based approach to hills. Include familiar climbs and controlled descents in preparation, and avoid using a flat-road target pace as a demand for every section. The last kilometres bring the races back together, so leave room for people moving at different speeds as you approach the stadium.
The main page confirms the 2027 date, but the marathon page still lists an 08:30 start alongside 2026 prices and deadlines. Treat that timetable as older context until the new programme confirms it. Registration opening in November is a future announcement, not evidence that a 2027 place is available today.
The event offers both a two-person Duo-Marathon and a three-person relay. Their changeover transport and divided distances do not apply to individual marathon runners. If entering with friends, make sure everyone understands the chosen category and where each person actually starts. Check the final access plan for Badstraße, baggage arrangements and the route to the Frankenstadion finish. Give supporters a specific meeting point outside the finish channel and check the new aid map before planning familiar supplies. The vineyard setting is part of the experience, but refreshment festivities should not replace a practised race-day plan or the organizer’s instructions.
