6. Trainingslauf Bottwartal-Marathon 2026

The Bottwartal-Marathon training run begins at 9:00 AM at Steppi/Kreisverkehr in Steinheim an der Murr. This is a free summer group run for those preparing for the Bottwartal-Marathon or another autumn race; no pre-registration is required, and runners may simply join. The route follows the Bottwartal near Steinheim, passing vineyards and small villages. Two distances are offered: 21 kilometers for pace groups 1 through 4, and 14 kilometers for group 5, the slowest group. Five pace groups cover approximately 5:00 to 7:00 min/km, allowing faster runners, steady club runners, and those building fitness to find suitable company. Group leaders accompany participants, making it resemble an organized long run more than a separate competition.
