More details

Getting to the start

No train/S-Bahn station at venue itself; HVV Bus 340 connects to Harburg-Rathaus station (~30 min) or Neuwiedenthal station (~15 min)

Start/finish for all race distances is at Wildpark Schwarze Berge, Am Wildpark 1, 21224 Rosengarten-Vahrendorf — a round-course venue. Public transit exists (Bus 340) but is not practically usable for the early race start; car access is the realistic option.

Start shuttle

HVV Bus 340, but official info notes it does NOT run to the Wildpark in the early morning hours — effectively unavailable at the actual race start time

IC card

Rosengarten is a small rural municipality near Hamburg covered by the HVV (Hamburger Verkehrsverbund) tariff zone. If arriving by regional bus or train, HVV tickets can be bought from station vending machines or the hvv app, and the nationwide Deutschlandticket (subscription-based) also covers travel here.

Given the rural setting, most visitors will find driving or a taxi from Hamburg more practical for race day.
