my take

Flat, fast and about two hours by car or train from Luxembourg, which makes it a realistic spring target race if the ING Night Marathon the day before is not your thing.

about the event

A road running weekend with a half marathon, a 10 km and a school relay through the centre of Mainz, the half marathon starting at 10:00. The organisers have posted a save the date for 9 May 2027; entries had not opened at the time of checking, so watch the site. This is an in person race with a start and finish in the city.

Preparing for Gutenberg Halbmarathon Mainz 2027?

Race day is Sun 9 May 2027, in 193 days. Counted back from that date, a two-week taper would start on Mon 26 Apr 2027; the planner lays out base, build and peak from the day you set it. The taper is the one phase with a meta-analysed optimum: about two weeks, training volume cut by 41 to 60 percent, intensity and frequency kept (Bosquet et al. 2007). A standard structure, not a training plan and not medical advice.
