The race area is located near the “Dresden-Hauptbahnhof”-mainstation (approx. 2 km) and “Dresden-Neustadt”-station (approx. 1 km). Dresden International Airport is about 8 km away. For local public transport schedules, please visit: www.dvb.de.

By car or bus, the marathon start can be reached via the A4 motorway, exit Dresden-Altstadt (78), then continue approx. 3 km on the B6 in the direction of the city centre/exhibition grounds. Follow the signs for “MARATHON” and “MESSE/P7”.

Navigation address: 01067 Dresden, Messering 6

Please note: On marathon day, detours and road closures may apply when coming from other directions.

The start/finish area is located near Pieschener Allee/HEINZ-STEYER STADIUM, approximately 800 metres from Dresden city centre (Zwinger Palace, Semper Opera House).

Race packet pick-up, registration office, and the marathon expo are located at:
BallsportARENA Dresden | Weißeritzstraße 4 | 01067 Dresden.

The start/finish area is easily accessible by public transport. Your bib number is valid as a ticket for all local public transport (excluding special services) in the Dresden fare zone on October 26, 2025.

From the Postplatz tram hub and the S-Bahn station Dresden-Mitte, it’s about a 10-minute walk. Tram lines 6 and 11 will take you to the “Kongresszentrum” stop.

Please check for public transport detours on race day.

Timing is carried out exclusively using a reusable transponder. Each relay team starts with one transponder, which is attached to the ankle. The transponder also serves as the “baton” and must be passed on to the next relay runner at the changeover points. Attachment to the ankle using a Velcro strap is mandatory.

The total net time of the team as well as the individual leg times will be recorded, provided that the start, finish, and all control mats along the course are crossed.

THE TRANSPONDER MUST BE RETURNED IMMEDIATELY AFTER CROSSING THE FINISH LINE!

The bib numbers of the marathon relay participants are color-coded differently from those of the individual marathon runners. This allows course marshals to direct relay participants to the designated exchange points. For this reason, bib numbers must always be clearly visible on the front.
The relay exchange points are easily accessible by public transportation. Due to numerous road closures, it is strongly discouraged to attempt private transport to the
exchange locations. The relay exchange areas are separated from the main race course. About 100 meters before each
exchange point, signs and marshals will indicate the upcoming changeover zone.

At each exchange point, there is a “pit lane” where the “relay baton” (transponder with Velcro strap on
the ankle) is handed over. The allocation to specific boxes within this area is based on the bib number.

1st Leg: approx. 13.4 km
START of the 25th DDM –Pieschener Allee to exchange point at Straßburger Platz / Gläserne Manufaktur

running times.
