Sparkasse Kraichgau CityCup Bretten 2026

The Sparkasse Kraichgau CityCup Bretten winds through Bretten's old town, leading runners into its narrow lanes and across the market square framed by half-timbered houses. Established in 2004, it attracts numerous participants from the surrounding region. The event offers races for various ages and groups, including three student races, a 5 km run, a 10 km run, and a 4 x 2.5 km relay for companies, clubs, and other teams. The course stays near the town center, avoiding anonymous roads. Participants can familiarize themselves with the route via a local running meet-up, allowing newcomers to learn the turns and experience the old-town sections before race day. The relay adds a team element, and the student runs ensure the event includes more than just an adult road race.
