Heidenheim Sparkassen City Run

The Heidenheimer Sparkassen-Stadtlauf is a community-focused city run held in Heidenheim an der Brenz, marketed as a family-friendly event that caters from children to half-marathon runners. The 2026 edition (22nd Auflage) brings multiple distances through the Heidenheimer Innenstadt with a start/finish area located near the Pauluskirche and Rathaus. The event combines urban course running with local sponsor involvement, notably Sparkassen as title sponsor and AOK sponsoring the Bambini race. Participants can expect race infrastructure focused on convenience and local atmosphere rather than competitive-only staging.

Races on the day include a Halbmarathon, 10 km and 5 km runs, Schülerläufe for school-aged children and an AOK Bambini-Lauf, with electronic disposable transponder timing integrated into the race bib for timed races. The organiser, Heidenheimer Stadtlauf e.V., provides participant services such as luggage storage in the Rathaus-Tiefgarage, finish-area refreshments at the Parc Gourmet near Willy-Brandt-Platz, and first-aid by the German Red Cross. Registration windows include online early/late entry and on-site pickup options; detailed pricing and some start schedules are published on the official site. For maps, individual race pages and the programme & infos section on the official website give course plans and additional logistics.
