From 1993 to 1995, the race was not contested for reasons beyond the organizer's control.The race was later lengthened to a half marathon, beginning with the 2006 edition of the race.

A record 9328 runners from over 10,300 entrants finished the race in October 2013.On 30 July 2020, the race organizer announced the cancellation of the 2020 in-person edition of the race due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of transferring their entry to 2021 or obtaining a full refund. About a month later, on 10 September, the organizer announced that the Valencia Marathon (which it also organized and whose mass race was just cancelled days earlier) would hold an "Elite Edition" of the race on 6 December, and that it would also include a half marathon race that year.

The German Chess Federation (German: Deutscher Schachbund, DSB) is the umbrella organization for German chess players. It is a member of the Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund and of FIDE, the World Chess Federation. It has over 90,000 members in over 2500 clubs, making it one of the world's largest national chess federations. Its members are 17 regional chess federations, the German Blind and Visually Impaired Chess Federation (DBSB), Die Schwalbe (chess composition society), the German Correspondence Chess Federation, and the Chess Bundesliga.History
The DSB was founded on July 18, 1877 in Leipzig. Founding members included the philosopher Carl Göring and the writer Rudolf von Gottschall; organizers Hermann Zwanzig , Constantin Schwede and Eduard Hammacher; and the chess masters Adolf Anderssen, Max Lange, and Johannes Hermann Zukertort.
The DSB ran into a major budget issue in 2023. While the federation has a large dues-paying group of members and had previously been cash-rich, the federation's budgeting and financial controls seem to have gone awry at some point. Over 500,000 euros were missing. President Ullrich Krause and Vice President Lutz-Rott Ebbinghaus blamed a combination of financial miscalculations, unplanned for expenses, and inflation.
