Running

Running is very important in Stuttgart. This is not least due to the scenic routes such as around the Bärenseen. The palace gardens and Rosenstein Park are also inviting places for running. And those who like competitions can take part in one of Stuttgart's running events.

Whether at a brisk or slower pace, running keeps you fit and puts you in a good mood. Like here at the Run up & AOK-StäffelesWalk.

Running is close to nature, trains the body and costs no fees. And many runners can tell you that exercise in fresh air strengthens the immune system and reduces stress. Above all, running, jogging and walking are fun and can be done flexibly alone or in a group.

You can run (almost) anywhere in Stuttgart. It is especially beautiful in nature. Parks, forests and running trails around lakes are very popular with runners. And forest sports trails are also inviting for outdoor sports. For fans of organized running, Stuttgart has highlights such as the Lauf-Cup/Volksläufe and the Stuttgart-Lauf in NeckarPark.

So, get into your running shoes, get out of the house and get going.
