43. Basler Stadtlauf

The 43. Basler Stadtlauf is a long-established city run held in the festively illuminated centre of Basel. The event brand and pages refer to it in German as "Basler Stadtlauf" and it traditionally opens the pre-Christmas running season in the city. The programme centres on a main 5.5 km city course that runs through historic streets and squares with a start/finish atmosphere around Marktplatz, and it also includes family and youth races that attract broad participation. The organiser highlights the events community and festival atmosphere rather than technical course details on the main pages.

Organisers reported that registrations for the previous edition exceeded 11,900 and the 2026 edition was scheduled for Saturday 21 November 2026, with organisers announcing that the event reached capacity. The official site provides links to the competition regulations, results/impressions pages and registration notices, while detailed start times and full course maps are published on linked information pages rather than on the headline announcement pages. For participants the event emphasises a family-friendly format, youth competition opportunities and strong local sponsorship and partner support. For the latest operational details, competitors and attendees are directed to the official Basler Stadtlauf website and the specific information or registration pages linked there.
