MORE ABOUT RUNNING IN AUGSBURG

Augsburg runs by the water: the Lech, the Wertach, and the Kuhsee thread green through the Fuggerstadt. We Up brings the city's running meetups, running groups, and run clubs together in one place, from the relaxed beginner meetup to the ambitious pace group.

The biggest running ground is the Siebentischwald to the south, with marked loops of three, five, and eight kilometers. Right along the water, routes follow the Wertachauen and the Lech to the Hochablass, whose historic waterworks is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The most popular lake loop is the roughly three-kilometer circuit around the Kuhsee; for something central and green, run through the Wittelsbacher Park by the Kongresshalle or Sheridanpark in Pfersee.

Groups meet in nearly every district — in the Lechviertel and Bismarckviertel, in Pfersee, Göggingen, Lechhausen, or Oberhausen. When it starts, where to meet, and what pace to expect are all listed in advance. Most meetups are free and beginner-friendly — all that matters is that you show up and run. Augsburg's appetite for running together shows in the M-Net Firmenlauf, which sold out its 14,000 spots shortly after registration opened in 2025.

Pick your meetup, grab a spot at the next event, and run along. The best part of running in Augsburg is the after-work loop along the Lech with people headed the same way — and winding down together afterward. Be there next time.

Running in Augsburg — good to know

Is this suitable for beginners too?
Yes, explicitly. Many running groups in Augsburg are beginner-friendly and deliberately run slowly — often with walk breaks. You need no experience, just the will to start.
Am I too slow for a running group?
No. There's a group for almost every pace – from very easy to fast. Pick one whose pace fits you; nobody gets left behind.
Can I come alone?
Sure, most people come alone to their first run. That's exactly what running groups are for: meeting new people and running together. Message the group beforehand and you'll recognise each other at the meeting point.
What if I can't keep up?
No problem. Many groups wait at crossings, run in pace groups or take walk breaks. And if it gets too fast, you simply drop out – that’s completely fine.
What does it cost?
The vast majority of run meetups and running groups in Augsburg are free. You just come by and run along – no registration, membership or fee.
Where do running groups meet in Augsburg?
All across the city — Siebentischwald, Wertachauen, Lech & Hochablass, Kuhsee, Wittelsbacher Park and Sheridanpark are among the most popular meeting points. Every group on We Up shows its exact meeting point.
Where do I find run meetups in Augsburg?

Are there free running groups in Augsburg?
Yes, most are free. Social run clubs and open meetups live off running together, not off fees – just come along.
Which running group fits my pace?
