The organiser’s course text reads “Zwei Runden, ein Freiburg-Panorama”: from the Messe through the Seepark, the districts of Weingarten, Haslach, St. Georgen and Wiehre, along the Dreisam to the historic Altstadt, and back to the finish over the Wiwilibrücke. The key figures give the length as 2 x 21 km.
The page’s own list of points on the course reads Seepark at km 2, Dietenbachpark at km 5, Wiehre at km 12, the Dreisam at km 15, the Altstadt and the Freiburger Münster at km 16, and the Wiwili-Brücke at km 17, and names the bridge, the symbol in the marathon logo, as the highlight, with a view of the Herz-Jesu-Kirche.

The organiser lists “Höhenmeter: 200 hm” and describes the course as “flach bis leicht hügelig”: “Keine großen Steigungen, dafür stetige, sanfte Wellen”, which it calls ideal for even pacing and personal bests. The figure is the organiser’s own.
