Originally scheduled for June 28 2026, the 32nd Hella Hamburg Half Marathon has been officially postponed to a later date in 2026 due to extreme weather conditions caused by heatwave.

Just a day before, on June 27 2026, the temperature in Hamburg reached roughly 39 °C. As the organizers mentioned on the official website page, after assessing the weather conditions and holding discussions with the experts, authorities and partners, they have come to the conclusion that the race cannot take place as planned on June 28, 2026.

As of 01 July 2026, the new date is still to be determined.
