Run through the historic old town and along the Rems river
The Waiblinger Stadtlauf is one of the established city runs in the greater Stuttgart area and is the highlight of the summer running season in the Remstal valley. The organizer is HD Sports, which has been successfully organizing the run for years. The routes lead through the medieval old town of Waiblingen and along the Rems river — a particularly photogenic combination of city and river.
The main 10 kilometer race starts at 4:00 PM. The course runs as two laps through the old town — past the market square, the collegiate church of St. Michael (Waiblingen's landmark), and through the historic alleys — and along the Rems riverbank through the city's green spaces. The elevation difference is minimal (Rems valley level), making the course suitable for beginners to advanced runners.
11:30 AM: Children's race — distances vary by age group, from 400 m for the youngest to 1.5 km for older children. Parents may accompany young children.
2:30 PM: Beginner's run (approx. 6 km) and Nordic Walking — shorter distance for fitness enthusiasts and Nordic walkers.
4:00 PM: Main race 10 km — competitive distance with timing.
Timing is provided by Race Result, one of Germany's professional timing service providers. Online results are available immediately after the race. Historical results from 2022 to 2025 can be accessed via the online portal.
The event is family-oriented: children can start at 11:30 AM, parents can participate throughout the day and even compete in the beginner's run or the main race themselves. Refreshments are available on the course (water, sports drinks), and after crossing the finish line, there's a snack stand with a pasta party and bratwurst.
The 2026 Waiblinger Stadtlauf again offers four disciplines for different target groups — from the children's race, beginner's run, and Nordic Walking to the competitive 10 km main race. The start/finish is at An der Talaue 4 — the event grounds on the Rems river, just before the old town.
The routes lead past the St. Michael's Collegiate Church, the market square, and through the historic alleys. The second section of the course runs back along the Rems through the Talaue green space.
Adults (Main race, beginner's run, Nordic Walking): 9 EUR. Children: 4 EUR. Register online at hdsports.org. On-site registration possible on the day of the event (small surcharge). Included in the entry fee: start number, timing chip, refreshments, pasta party.
