RBB Run Potsdam – Running together, experiencing great things

The rbb-Lauf Potsdam (rbb-Lauf Potsdamer Drittelmarathon) is an annual community road race held in Potsdam with a memorable finish on the Glienicker Brücke (the “Bridge of Spies”). The event offers two distance options — the Potsdamer Drittelmarathon (14.065 km) and a 10 km race — and is promoted as a scenic urban route that passes notable local sights. Organised in partnership with the Stadtsportbund Potsdam e.V. and supported by regional partners, the race is positioned as a popular season opener for runners across Berlin and Brandenburg. The organiser highlights a distinctive finish on the historic bridge as a unique selling point for participants and spectators alike.

The official event page and athlete information provide practical details for competitors, including mailed personalised bibs for early registrants, on-site bib collection for late entries, and timing via the EasyChip (davengo) system. Course notes advise mixed surfaces (including cobblestones and gravel) and a two-hour time limit for both distances, so runners should prepare for variable underfoot conditions. The event emphasises community participation and local atmosphere while maintaining sanctioned race rules and age eligibility in line with German athletics guidelines.
