The marathon starts on Ottoplatz in Deutz, crosses the Deutzer Brücke and heads south through Rodenkirchen before looping back via the Südstadt. It then runs through Lindenthal, Ehrenfeld and Nippes, passes Rudolfplatz three times, and finishes beside Cologne Cathedral on Komödienstraße. The organiser calls the route flat and fast. There are 11 aid stations, and the course is closed to traffic, officially measured and approved by AIMS. A half marathon is also part of the event, and GPX files are published for both distances.
