Big fun for the little ones: The Bambini Run at the DRESDEN-MARATHON anniversary!
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the DRESDEN-MARATHON, our youngest athletes can look forward to a very special highlight: the Bambini Run at the Heinz-Steyer-Stadium!
All children born between 2018 - 2022 are warmly invited to experience the marathon atmosphere and run one lap around the stadium (approx. 400 meters) – without any pressure, but with plenty of fun and applause!
What makes it special: All young participants will receive an official bib number – and a medal at the finish line as a keepsake!
Participation is free of charge, but online registration is required.
Please note:
For organizational reasons, each child may be accompanied by only ONE parent or guardian, and only if absolutely necessary. This is the only way we can ensure a smooth and safe event for all.
