Laurentiuslauf Bobingen - aux.talents 2026

The Laurentiuslauf is a community running event in Bobingen, near Augsburg, with the start and finish at the TSV Bobingen stadium. It typically takes place in September and offers multiple participation options: a shorter run for children, a route for walkers, and distances up to 23 km for runners. Broad participation is expected, with over 250 individuals anticipated and more than 300 athletes recorded in the source material. The course winds through the countryside surrounding Bobingen, presenting it as a local nature run rather than a city road race. The event holds a unique historical significance: Bobingen was the site of the first German Volkslauf, and the Laurentiuslauf is locally regarded as the origin of German mass-participation running events. The Augsburg District Run is now associated with it, and district championship titles have been contested there, bringing club runners and competitive fields to join children, walkers, and casual participants.
