Premiere of the Lilien Relay Marathon! On August 27th, SV Darmstadt 98 Stadion GmbH will host its first running event around the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor. Running enthusiasts can form groups of two to eight runners and complete a marathon or half marathon distance together.

You can register as a company relay, a club relay, or even a relay with friends. Individual registrations are also possible, as all individual registrations will be divided into separate relay teams.
The start and finish is the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor. From there, runners set off on a varied route through the adjacent forest. In addition to a water station along the route, cold drinks await you directly after the finish line. To replenish your energy, you can also purchase additional cold drinks and stadium-style snacks at our kiosks and end the evening together.
