Bietigheim Torch Run

The 13. Bietigheimer Fackellauf is a night running event held in Bietigheim-Bissingen that brands itself as a torch-lit Nachtlauf (torch run). The course is run along a flat, paved field path between Bietigheim and Ingersheim and is illuminated by torches, creating a distinctive evening atmosphere. The event takes place on Friday 26 June 2026 and the organiser publishes online registration with a stated registration deadline of 26 June 2026 at 12:00. Bib numbers are issued exclusively at the Start/Finish stand and participants are asked not to use Nordic walking poles or similar items on the course.

The competition offers both individual and team formats, with the course described as three laps of roughly 3.33 km (total c.10 km) and an explicit option to compete as a 3-person relay (3er-Staffel). Facilities at the start/finish (Parkplatz der Fa. Olymp) include separate changing rooms and showers for men and women, and the organiser advertises food, drinks and live music before and after the race. Registration is handled online via the event homepage and further event information (course, results, photos, press) is available from the official site.
