At the 25th DRESDEN MARATHON, it’s not just the adults who take center stage – our young running heroes get their big moment too.
With the Children’s Marathon and the Bambini Run on Saturday, 25th October 2025, we offer two thoughtfully designed events for children aged 3 to 14, where fun, physical activity, and an unforgettable finish-line experience are guaranteed.
Registration is now open – so take a look, sign up, and join in when Dresden starts running.
A real highlight awaits all children born between 2011 and 2018.
The Children’s Marathon covers a 1.4 km course through the Sportpark Ostra and ends with a grand finish inside the Heinz-Steyer-Stadium – exactly where the marathon runners cross the finish line. A truly unforgettable experience.
