History
editThe race was first run in 1995 in Hamburg Stadtpark and was named the Hamburg-Mannheimer Cup.[1] In 2003, the course was changed so that it ran through the city, and the race was renamed Hamburg Halbmarathon (Hamburg Half Marathon).[1] Hella became the title sponsor the following year, in 2004.[1]
The 2020 edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with registrants having the option of transferring their entry to 2021.[2]
Course
editThe start is on the Reeperbahn and heads west before turning east along the banks of the Elbe and through the city. It makes a lap of the Außenalster before finishing on the Rothenbaumchaussee.
