Recurring 5K races near Stuttgart

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

30. Heckengäu-Volkslauf 2026

The Heckengäu-Volkslauf is an annual public running event in Wiernsheim, based at Lindenhalle Wiernsheim. It is part of the regular event calendar of SFG-Serres, a local club that also organizes village and club gatherings such as Kinderfasching, Vatertags-Hocketse, and the Wiernsheim street festival. The available source does not provide a course map or confirmed race distances. Its context within German running calendars is relevant: these events are connected to the wider club-run road-racing system, where volunteers, state athletics associations, timing standards, safety rules, and official results infrastructure support grassroots races.

DJK-Lauf Ludwigsburg

The DJK-Lauf Ludwigsburg is a local road race in Ludwigsburg, Baden-Wurttemberg, taking place in October and organized by SG DJK Ludwigsburg e.V. It focuses on short, accessible races, offering options for young children, school-age runners, teenagers, casual joggers, and more competitive adults. The youngest participants receive a free Bambini race of approximately 500 metres. Older children have their own short races, such as the Theo-Lauf and a distance for school-age runners that includes medals. Adults and older youth can select a quick 5 km circuit or a 10 km race covering two laps. The course is flat and paved, making it suitable for runners seeking a consistent surface and a simple pacing strategy for the longer distances.

The Stauch Cup is a local race series in Kupferzell, Germany, with all races starting and finishing on Jahnweg. The adult program includes a 5K Nordic walk, a 5K run, and a 10K run, all on flat courses. The setup suits runners seeking a short, straightforward road event rather than a complicated route or hilly challenge. Children and youth races are also part of the day, so the series is for more than just adult runners and walkers.

15. Crailsheimer Sparkassenlauf (4. Lauf des 4-Jahreszeiten Laufcup 2026)

On German Unity Day, the Crailsheimer Sparkassenlauf transforms Crailsheim's city center into a race venue. The 10 km run is the primary adult distance, with shorter races available. The event features a relay, a 5 km run on a 2.5 km loop, a 4 km Nordic Walking event on a 2 km loop, 2 km and 1 km schoolchildren's races, and 400 m Bambini runs for the youngest participants. This race serves as the fourth and final stop of the 4-Seasons Running Cup, following the Hohenloher Silvesterlauf, the Obersontheimer Osterlauf, and the Burgberglauf. The event accommodates a broad range of participants: kindergarten children, school pupils, hobby runners, professional runners, walkers, and seniors can all find a suitable distance. Spectators in the finish area can view race action on an LED screen, with camera crews on the course and event grounds transmitting live footage via a studio van. Live music, cheerleaders, and experienced announcers contribute to the town-center atmosphere surrounding the races. Cup winners are honored in Crailsheim, race winners receive prizes, and a separate draw offers a weekend with a Mercedes CLA.

Barbarossalauf Erlenbach

Barbarossalauf Erlenbach is a road running event in Erlenbach am Main, Bavaria, starting at Saint-Maurice-Platz near Elsenfelder Strasse. It typically takes place in October, beginning in the afternoon, and features several distances: a half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, 2.5 km, and 1 km. The event has been held annually since 2007, organized by Barbarossalauf Erlenbach a. Main e.V. The shorter distances and the children’s or school run cater to local runners and families. The half marathon, a recent addition, provides a longer road-race option. Registration is available via the organizer’s website.

40. Oberwaldlauf

The Oberwaldlauf is a 5 km and 10 km race held annually in the Oberwald forest in Karlsruhe, taking place on the third Saturday of October. The start and finish are located at the TuS Rüppurr club grounds on Steinmannstraße. The 10 km race begins first, followed shortly by the 5 km run and 5 km walk. The event is sanctioned by the German Athletics Association, and both running courses are officially measured, allowing results to be included in German ranking lists. The route consists of a loop on asphalt and maintained forest paths, offering a more controlled environment than a rugged trail race while keeping participants within the Oberwald. The 10 km race is open to older youth and adults, the 5 km run includes younger age groups, and the walking option accommodates families and casual participants. TuS Rüppurr organizes the event with a club atmosphere: water, tea, and bananas are available at the finish, with waffles, cake, fries, and bratwurst offered around the grounds, and a bouncy castle for children. Course records stand at 29:07 and 35:45 for the 10 km, and 14:53 and 16:38 for the 5 km.

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.

Bietlauf Mühlhausen

Bietlauf Mühlhausen is a road-running event in Tiefenbronn, Baden-Württemberg, starting from Lehninger Str. The program centers on an 11.5 km main run, with shorter options: a 5 km leisure run, a 5 km walking or Nordic Walking event, and a 1.15 km run for children and school pupils. It is typically held in autumn, often around October, with a morning start at 10:00. The course information is straightforward. The event caters to local runners, walkers, families, and school-age children, not exclusively competitive club athletes. Registration is via the organizer’s website, which also provides access to start lists, results, photos, and reports. One review highlights the atmosphere as its strongest aspect, with good scores for the course and value, while organization received lower marks.

Mühlhausener Spendenlauf

The Mühlhausener Spendenlauf is a charity run held in October in Mühlhausen, part of the Landkreis-Laufcup Kelheim. It features 400 m, 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km races, along with a 5 km walk. This setup allows children, amateur athletes, walkers, and experienced runners to participate on the same day. The event has its multiple distances rather than a specific route, focusing on participation and fundraising. This marks the sixth edition of the run, and it has been included in the Landkreis-Laufcup Kelheim for three years. Online registration is open until race week, with an option for late, on-site registration at an additional cost. The primary tradition of the event is its support for a regional charitable organization through its proceeds.

41. Rohrwanglauf

Aalen's Rohrwanglauf is a local running event held in the Rohrwang area. It includes a student race, the 1.6-kilometer Rohrwangmeile, and 5.4-kilometer and 10-kilometer races for older participants. Approximately 230 individuals competed despite inclement weather, indicating its status as a community race with competitive depth. The shorter races provide an entry point for students and casual runners, while the 10k draws accomplished club runners from the region. Recent 5.4k winners were Finja Gügel and Tim Hauser. Chiara Elsholtz won the women's 10k. The men's 10k featured a close contest between LSG Aalen club members Joachim Krauth and Robin Linten, with Krauth securing the victory.

45. Obersulmer Volkslauf

The Obersulmer Volkslauf takes place around the Breitenauer See in Obersulm, Baden-Württemberg, with the start and finish lines located by the lake. This November community running event offers races for very young children, school-age runners, 5 km participants, walkers, Nordic walkers, and 10 km runners. The shortest race is the 250 m Bambinilauf, and the main race covers 10 km. Transponders are used for timing, and runners collect their bibs at the Hofwiesenhalle in Obersulm-Willsbach. The course is flat and fast: the 5 km race consists of one lap around the Breitenauer See, and the 10 km race involves completing that lap twice. The event attracts local families and schools, along with adult runners. Obersulm school classes participate in the children’s races and the 5 km fun run. Food and award ceremonies occur on-site, giving the day the feel of a local sports morning rather than a large-scale race production.

Bönnigheimer Stromberglauf

The Bönnigheimer Stromberglauf is an autumn running event held at the foot of the Stromberg in Bönnigheim, Germany. It includes races for students, 5 km, and 10 km, accommodating participants from children to adults. LG Neckar-Enz organizes the event with the city's support, attracting both competitive and recreational runners. The course winds through vineyards on the Stromberg's eastern foothills, crosses field paths, and enters Bönnigheim’s historic old town. Recent events have seen over a thousand participants, primarily recreational athletes, with ages ranging from 6 to 82. Hundreds of spectators typically attend. Participants registering early can receive a bib with their name printed on it; late registration remains open until shortly before the race.

About 5K races in Stuttgart

Stuttgart Training Notes

Stuttgart hosts 52 5K 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 Kessel with respect, because Stuttgart makes you climb as soon as you leave the easy line. Schlossgarten gives runners the city’s number one flat stretch, and the 7 km route runs from the old town toward the Neckar River. Rosensteinpark and Killesbergpark keep base miles green, while the Rosenstein Park Route links neatly with Schlossgarten. Tuesday Athletic Run Club meets every Tuesday at 19:00 at kiost in Stuttgart-Ost for 5-6 km with easy runs, sprints, or intervals. Stuttgart-Lauf anchors the calendar, with B2RUN Stuttgart, AOK Firmenlauf Feuerbach, and Feuerbacher Volkslauf Rund um die Mammutbäume filling the social race slots.

Locals ride with the same rule every week: be aware it’s hilly here. Fietsen Cycling Club Stuttgart shows riders the nicest routes around the Kessel, sometimes quick, sometimes gemütlich, sometimes asphalt, sometimes off-road. ADFC Stuttgart brings tours of varying difficulty, and its Social Gravel Ride comes out in the warmer months. RSV Vaihingen and RTC Stuttgart give the race and hobby crowd more structure. Radel-Thon loops 83 kilometers around the Stuttgart valley basin, while Woodpecker Trail near Degerloch drops 120 meters over about one kilometer. Birkenkopf, Württemberg, Grüner Heiner, and Bernhartshöhe hill put the climbs close, and Brezel-Race, Alb Extrem, Ara Schönbuch, and 50.Weinlandtour give riders anchor goals.

Spring, Summer, and Autumn are the best months, and locals use them for Z2, crit prep, gran fondo legs, cyclocross skills, and longer forest rides. Summer brings warm days, with average highs around 24°C, and the nearby hills, Swabian Alb mountains, Black Forest, Schurwald, and Swabian-Franconian Forest often shield the city from harsh weather. Thunderstorms can still roll through, and rare hailstorms make people check the sky before long rides. Winter stays chilly, with daily means just above freezing, so runners keep the flat Schlossgarten useful and cyclists shift more toward gravel, steady base miles, and the better-weather windows.
