Uplandsteig-Wandermarathon overview
The event offers three marked walking routes on the certified UPLANDSTEIG trail with varied terrain and scenic viewpoints. Routes are fixed and follow the full certified trail for the longest distance. Transfers by bus run from the visitor centre in Willingen to each route's start point. The final destination for all routes is the visitor centre in Willingen. Free parking is available at the visitor centre.
Distances offered:
- 67 km ultra covering the entire UPLANDSTEIG with about 1,500 m ascent
- 42 km marathon distance

Along the routes there are five control and refreshment points supplying drinks, fruit, muesli and cake. The marathon and ultra routes also include a warm meal at a refreshment point. Participants should bring their own drinking cup for use at stops. The event is not a competition and there is no timekeeping; participants must have appropriate fitness. A return transfer is available for walkers who cannot finish. Participation is limited. Entry fees are paid in cash on the event day. Online registration opens 12 January 2027 and confirmations may take up to four days. Event updates are published in early May. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
