Traditionally in June (this year on July 5, 2026) the big city run of Sport Scheck takes place again. There is something for all fitness levels and for young and old – everyone gets their money’s worth. The various runs start at Ludwigstraße and shortly afterwards move on to Munich’s English Garden. The destination is again Ludwigstraße.
Background to the Munich City Run – RUN Munich
The city run series organized by SportScheck and BMW was launched in 1979 with the first city run in Munich – now around 100,000 participants take part in what has become the largest running series in German cities.
Over distances of 5 km, 10 km and the 21 km half marathon, amateur and competitive athletes either try to run their best time or at least somehow reach the finish line. In every city there are also free DAK children’s runs over short distances of up to 2 km.
The city runs are supported by various sponsors and celebrity ambassadors – such as the 800-meter Olympic running champion Nils Schumann and the former German half-marathon champion Ingalena Heuck.
