my take
Only the date is out so far. If the 2026 format holds, the half marathon along the Saar is the one to aim for from Luxembourg.
about the event
The fourth SAARathon is announced for Sunday 10 October 2027 in Saarbrücken, according to the organiser's event page. Distances, start times and registration for 2027 are not published yet. The 2026 edition started from the Kulturbiergarten in St. Arnual, on the Saar riverbank, with a marathon to the Völklingen Ironworks that doubled as the Saarland championship, a half marathon, the 10 km Westspangenlauf and a 5 km run.
Preparing for SAARathon 2027?
Race day is Sun 10 Oct 2027, in 346 days. Counted back from that date, a two-week taper would start on Mon 27 Sep 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.
