Citylauf Ansbach begins at Martin-Luther-Platz, located in Ansbach's old town in Bavaria. This road race offers distances suitable for children, casual runners, and competitive club athletes, ranging from the free 800 m Bambini run, through school races, a 7 km hobby run, the 10 km main race, and the half marathon. Approximately 2,000 runners participate annually, cheered on by thousands of spectators along the course.
The route incorporates both asphalt and cobblestone sections, presenting more than a simple flat park circuit. Participants will run through Ansbach’s historic old town. The half marathon course includes a repeated loop covering Neuses, Schmalenbach, and Wasserzell. This event captures the spirit of a community city race, accommodating a diverse field of participants: children, students, hobby runners, 10 km competitors, and half-marathon athletes all share the same race day.
