MORE ABOUT RUNNING IN AACHEN
Aachen runs at the tri-border corner of Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands — with more elevation gain than most cities in the west. We Up brings together the running meetups, running groups, and run clubs of the old imperial city, from the easy loop around the Hangeweiher to the hill run up to the Lousberg.
The heart of Aachen's running scene is the sprawling Aachener Wald to the south, with six marked loop trails — shaded, hilly, and good for any distance. The go-to route for many is the Hangeweiher loop around Kaiser-Friedrich-Park, where you'll find someone running almost around the clock. If you like it flat, head north through the Wurmtal; if you're after elevation, take the Lousberg above the city center or the meadows of the Soers — and for the truly ambitious, the climb up the Vaalserberg at the tripoint itself.
Groups meet in nearly every neighborhood — in Burtscheid, the Pontviertel and Frankenberger Viertel, in Brand, Eilendorf, Haaren, or Laurensberg. Every group tells you the meeting point, day, time, and pace before you show up. Plenty of meetups are free and explicitly welcome beginners. You can see how much Aachen runs together every New Year's Eve, when around 2,000 runners take on the Aachener Silvesterlauf through the old town.
Grab a group in your neighborhood, sign up for the next event, and start running. The best runs in Aachen aren't the ones in the spotlight — they're the weekly ones with your own group, out through the forest and back for a coffee in the old town. Find your people and run with them.
Running groups in Aachen suit beginners too: many are explicitly beginner-friendly and deliberately run slowly, often with walk breaks. No experience is needed, just the will to start.
8 running groups in Aachen meet regularly on Saturdays or Sundays, for example 064running, Inde-Lauftreff (FC Inde Hahn), Lauf und Walkingtreff Brander TV (Brander Turnverein Aachen e.V.) and Lauftreff Beverau Aachen (LT Beverau). All running groups with day and time are in the list on this page.
Of the 15 running groups in Aachen with a fixed weekday, most run on Tuesdays (5), Thursdays (5) and Saturdays (4). 8 of these running groups meet at the weekend.
There is one parkrun in Aachen: Lousberg parkrun. Every Saturday at 9 am everyone runs 5 kilometres together, free and timed. To take part, register once with parkrun and bring your barcode.
