Stadtlauf Bürstadt begins and ends at Wilhelminenstraße 1 in Bürstadt, Hessen. Runners gather during the Bürstädter Kerwe, not for a separate race day.

The 2.5 km race is one lap, the 5 km run and walk are two laps, and the 10 km race is four laps, though a team can split it as a relay. Children have their own 400 m Bambini run, with free entry and a free shirt for the youngest participants; one year, 91 children ran this race. All finishers get a functional shirt, and the top three in each category receive prize money. The day concludes after the awards with food, drinks, and live music, continuing the Kerwe atmosphere.

Each kilometer is marked, and the course measurement adheres to DLV/IAAF guidelines, meaning times from the 10 km can be used for official record lists.
