Overview

The Hemslingen Ultra Marathon covers 56 kilometers of trail in Hemslingen, Germany, on 13 March 2027. Organised by TuS Hemslingen Söhlingen with an entry fee of 20 Euro, the race enforces an 8-hour time limit that demands steady forward momentum from the start.

That overall limit requires maintaining an average pace of at least 8.6 minutes per kilometer across the full distance. Out of 1084 peer events in the 50k category, this time limit is tighter than 92% of cut-offs and more generous than only 8%, leaving virtually no margin for extended stops or a mid-race slump.
