2027 Half Sauer Half Kraut Marathon

Race Information

The ½ Sauer ½ Kraut offers a somewhat different experience from your big city marathon. You will be running on a mostly shaded flat bike trail alongside the Pennypack Creek supported by 15 aid stations ( 7 for the half), including an Oktoberfest Aid station. Find out who else is crazy enough to run a race like this in the summer and rehydrate properly at the German club afterwards. You will dramatically increase your chances of winning something by dressing in Lederhosen or Dirndl (traditional bavarian dress).
