The Hamburg Half Marathon is an annual road running event held in Hamburg, Germany. It is currently sponsored by {{ill|Hella Mineral Water|de|Hella Mineralbrunnen}}.

History

The race was first run in 1995 in Hamburg Stadtpark and was named the Hamburg-Mannheimer Cup.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hamburg-halbmarathon.com/hall-of-fame/|title = Hall of Fame | hella hamburg half|date = 19 August 2015}} In 2003, the course was changed so that it ran through the city, and the race was renamed Hamburg Halbmarathon (Hamburg Half Marathon). Hella became the title sponsor the following year, in 2004.

The 2020 edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with registrants having the option of transferring their entry to 2021.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hamburg-halbmarathon.de/2020/04/18/der-hella-hamburg-halbmarathon-2020-faellt-aus/|title = Der hella hamburg halbmarathon 2020 fällt aus | hella hamburg halbmarathon|date = 18 April 2020}}
