The familiar atmosphere, the high-quality supporting program, and the unique charm of the setting have made the run a firm fixture on the regional sports calendar.

Run through one of Germany's most beautiful half-timbered towns

The Einbecker Bierstadtlauf takes its participants through one of the most impressive historic city centers in Lower Saxony. With over 400 preserved half-timbered buildings, magnificent gable houses, and cobblestone alleys, Einbeck offers a running route that is unique in its kind. From the market square with the Eulenspiegel fountain and the Old Town Hall to the quiet streets around the collegiate church, a new cityscape unfolds with every kilometer.

Routes for every level of fitness

The run offers various distances, allowing both ambitious runners and recreational athletes to participate. Walking routes offer a more relaxed option, and dedicated children's races ensure that the younger generation can also experience the thrill of competition. This variety makes the Bierstadtlauf a classic family event.

Family atmosphere and supporting program

What particularly distinguishes the Einbecker Bierstadtlauf is its warm, family-like atmosphere. Organizers, volunteers, and course marshals ensure a welcoming environment. After crossing the finish line, athletes can look forward to a supporting program with refreshments, live music, and – as befits the Bockbier city – a fresh Einbecker beer after their performance.

Registration and organization

Registration is open from December of the previous year via the official event website. On-site collection of race bibs takes place in the Old Town Hall, which also serves as the competition center. The city of Einbeck, as the organizer, is supported by numerous sponsors and volunteers.
