22. Bottwartal-Marathon Run und Fun Day

Bottwartal Marathon

The Bottwartal Marathon is a running weekend held in mid-October in Baden-Wurttemberg's Bottwartal region. It began as a marathon but now includes multiple races. Initially featuring a marathon and a 10K, the event expanded to offer a half marathon, walking events, and a Run & Fun Day for children and students. The organization relies on local club support, with eight clubs from Beilstein, Gronau, Grossbottwar, Murr, Kleinbottwar, Oberstenfeld, Steinheim, and Winzerhausen collaborating through an ORGA team, each club managing its segment. Werner Neumann of Oberstenfeld initiated the race to unite several Bottwartal clubs for a significant running event. The original start and finish were at the Bottwartalkellerei in Grossbottwar, enabling a course with northern and southern loops for the marathon and half marathon. The event later relocated to Steinheim, the "Urmenschenstadt," due to organizational and logistical considerations, with Gerhard Petermann succeeding Neumann as leader. The race has received the most popular marathon medal award six times and is one of Baden-Wurttemberg's largest running events.

9. Biberacher Genießerlauf

The Biberacher Genießerlauf begins and ends on Biberach’s historic market square in Upper Swabia. The October race program includes a half marathon, a two-person 2 x 8 km relay, and a roughly 6 km walking or Nordic walking route. The event emphasizes the “Genuss” (enjoyment) in its name: runners receive strong course support, good food and drink along the way and at the finish, and a glass of sparkling wine after crossing the line. The surfaces combine asphalt with firm forest and field paths, creating a town-and-countryside feel rather than a pure road run. The half marathon starts flat at about 530 m above sea level. It begins climbing around the fifth kilometer, reaching its high point of about 630 m near km 13.5, with views toward the Allgäu. The route then drops into Ingoldingen and returns mostly downhill or flat after a final climb. The relay departs the half marathon route at the end of the Wolfental, a green water-protection area west of the city. It returns to Biberach after a short rise and gentle descent; the handover in the city center provides a more social atmosphere for friends, clubs, and company teams. Walkers follow a separate, calmer route through the Wolfental, with or without poles, and Nordic walking is fully integrated into the program.

22. Bottwartal-Marathon

The Bottwartal-Marathon is the largest running event in the Bottwartal, a wine-growing region in southern Germany. Its routes pass vineyards and historic half-timbered towns. The race weekend offers many distances beyond just the marathon. Children's, youth, and inclusion races begin the event at Riedstadion in Steinheim an der Murr. Adult runners can select from 5 km, 10 km, a half marathon, 30 km, the full marathon, a relay marathon, or the 52 km Urmensch Ultra. Steinheim an der Murr serves as the primary starting point for longer races, including the 10 km, 30 km, marathon, relay, and ultra. The 5 km race begins in Grossbottwar, and the half marathon starts in Gronau. The marathon follows a loop through the southern and northern Bottwartal. The half marathon features a flat finish for a quicker final stretch. Time limits range from two hours for the 5 km and 10 km races to six hours for the marathon and relay. The 52 km ultra has a seven-and-a-half-hour limit.

36. Sparkassen Alb Marathon Schwäbisch Gmünd

The Sparkassen Alb Marathon takes place around Schwäbisch Gmünd in the Swabian Jura, offering races from 5 km up to a new 60 km ultra. Held in October for its 36th edition, the event caters to children, walkers, beginners, club runners, and endurance athletes seeking a long run on hilly terrain. The new Alb Ultra begins in Essingen and passes through Heubach, the Furtlepass, and Waldstetten before concluding in Schwäbisch Gmünd, featuring approximately 2,000 meters of elevation gain. The 25 km race now starts at Burg Hohenrechberg and incorporates sections of the traditional Alb Marathon course. The 50 km Sparkassen-Lauf, 37 km Alb Trail, relay, 10 km Lauf & Walk, 5 km Challenge, and children’s race maintain the event's variety. The courses traverse the three Kaiserberge mountains. The organizer introduced the ultra distance in response to increased runner demand for more challenging trail and ultra options.

3. Wald(Ultra)Marathon Calw

The Wald(Ultra)Marathon Calw is a 46 km forest ultramarathon beginning in Calw-Altburg, Baden-Württemberg. Scheduled for December, it directs runners onto hilly terrain rather than a fast road course. The longest route extends slightly beyond marathon distance, but the elevation gain and forest trails give it the feel of a mountain endurance run rather than just a few extra kilometers. The course crosses the wooded hills surrounding Calw-Altburg, with Baden and Swabian scenery as the setting. Organizers classify the difficulty as 4 out of 5. The 46 km route demands significant endurance and proficiency on steep or mountain-like terrain. This race is considered a regional ultra classic, emphasizing a challenging day on the trails over achieving a personal best.

About Marathon races in Reutlingen

Reutlingen Training Notes

Reutlingen hosts 12 Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run the city centre along the Echaz, then drift into Volkspark und Pomologie, Stadtgarten, Parkanlage am Listplatz, and Markwasen for easy Z2. Kepis Lehrpfad gives you a simple local option when you want dirt underfoot without making a big day of it. Sportverein TSG Reutlingen, TSV Betzingen, PSV Reutlingen, and SSV Reutlingen 05 keep the club scene visible. Reutlinger Altstadtlauf is the city anchor event, and Waldlauf Reutlingen-Ohmenhausen gives Ohmenhausen its own proper race feel. The Lichtenstein Trail sits 7 km away and packs 900m of gain into 22 km through the Swabian Jura.

Locals ride out because the district gives them over 900 km of cycle paths and the city sits right by the Alb. Vordere Alb-Radweg (R14) makes a 52 km day with constant ascent and descent, so it works for base miles with teeth. Ermstal (R15) runs 27 km through the Upper Ermstal valley, and Around St. Johann (R13) stays friendlier with few inclines. V. Around St. Johann (R13) covers 7 km when you want climbs.

July feels like race season because Reutlinger Altstadtlauf and the 12. Reutlinger Swim & Run land on July 4th, and Metzinger Ermstal-Marathon follows on the second Sunday in July. May and June still matter because Erima Lauf and Hugo Boss Lauf sit in the brief as early-summer tune-ups. Locals use summer for intervals, longer rides on R14 and R15, and trail days toward Lichtenstein. Winter changes the rhythm, because Alb-Gold Winterlauf-Cup brings February racing in Reutlingen and Pliezhausen, Nikolauslauf Tübingen lands on December 6th, and Monte Kiki in Markwasen turns into the sledding hill.
