Stuttgart

Stuttgart's runners navigate the Neckar river valley on flat urban routes like the Neckar Valley run, but serious training heads into the surrounding Swabian hills—elevation gain comes fast in the Remstal and Filder regions. Cyclists dominate here: the Rund um Stuttgart is the flagship 163km circuit, while the Weinlandtour (160km) and Weinstadt RTF (188km) tap into the vine-draped slopes south and east of the city where sustained 5–8% climbs run through wine villages at 300–500m elevation. The region sits at roughly 250m and rewards long-distance road cycling over running.
