On April 12, 2026, Freiburg comes alive with the Mein Freiburg Marathon, welcoming both elite athletes and fun-runners to race on certification-grade courses. Events include the full marathon (two consecutive half-marathon loops, ~200 m elevation gain), the Super Sparrow half marathon, a scenic 10 km AOK-health run, a 7‑14‑7‑14 km relay, a student half-marathon relay, and the charming mini-marathon for kids, all starting and finishing at Messe Freiburg. Runners enjoy a festive race weekend, complete with the pre-race "Maultaschen-Party" carb-load kickoff, race expo, live bands lining the course, downloadable finisher certificates, and full logistical support like packet pickup, free local transit, and post-race refreshments. Supported by FWTM (Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe) and the Badischer Leichtathletik-Verband, the event has become a flagship spring race in Southern Germany.
