A Young City Run with a Grand Stage
The first Wolfsburg Run took place in 2025 and immediately established itself as an attractive early-spring race in Lower Saxony. The event is backed by VfL Wolfsburg, which also organizes other running events through its VfL-Run section. The close connection to the professional football club provides a unique emotional anchor and guarantees spectacular finish-line photos under the stands of the Bundesliga arena.
Route Through Wolfsburg
The course leads runners through Wolfsburg's most distinctive urban spaces: around Allersee lake, past Wolfsburg Castle, through the Autostadt surroundings, and finally into the Volkswagen Arena — the home stadium of VfL Wolfsburg. The finish inside the stadium is one of the event's most defining spectacles.
