Entries now open: HafenCity Run 2022

It may not be a marathon, but it is still a very special running experience: The HafenCity Run is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. A sports event well known beyond the Hamburg city boundaries, its appeal is a route that takes runners right through HafenCity, by well-known sights and past building sites, and through new, hitherto unknown areas. Instead of chasing performance and the best time, team spirit, fun and discovering HafenCity are at the forefront here. Entries for the popular charitable sports event, which takes place on Saturday, June 18, 2022, are now open.
