SportScheck RUN Nürnberg 2026

The SportScheck RUN Nürnberg begins and ends on the Hauptmarkt, Nuremberg’s old town central square. It takes place annually on German Unity Day in Nuremberg, Franconia’s largest city, offering race distances of 6 km, 10 km, and 21 km, alongside a 600 m Bambini run and a 1.7 km schoolchildren’s race. The format positions it as a city run for a wide audience, not exclusively a half marathon for seasoned athletes. Approximately 7,000 participants typically compete, ranging from children in the shorter events to adults tackling the 10 km or half marathon, with onlookers positioned around a well-known old town landmark. The event's history traces back to its inaugural run, and its consistent placement on a public holiday secures its position in Nuremberg’s running schedule.
