MORE ABOUT RUNNING IN BONN
Between the Rhine, the Rheinaue, and the Kottenforst, Bonn has everything a runner could want — you just need to find the right group. That's exactly what We Up brings together: the city's running clubs, running groups, and run crews, from beginner-friendly meetups to fast-paced tempo runs.
The go-to route for joggers is the Rheinaue, a 160-hectare park around the Auensee where you'll find runners at any time of day. Then there's the flat riverside promenade along the Rhine between the bridges, ideal for 10 to 15 kilometers at a stretch. If you're after forest and elevation, head up to the Venusberg and on into the sprawling Kottenforst — or through the green Melbtal toward Poppelsdorf.
Groups meet in nearly every neighborhood — in Südstadt and Nordstadt, in Endenich, Poppelsdorf, Beuel, or Bad Godesberg. You can see at a glance when and where a group meets and how fast they run. Most sessions are free and beginner-friendly — nobody needs to be fast to join in. Just how much Bonn loves to run shows in the Deutsche Post Marathon, which set a new record with over 18,000 registrations in 2025.
A group in your neighborhood is easy to find, and a spot at the next event is quick to secure. The best thing about running in Bonn isn't a personal best through the Rheinaue — it's the regular weekly run and the people you share it with. Find your group, then stick around for a coffee afterward.
Running groups in Bonn 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.
2 running groups in Bonn meet regularly on Saturdays or Sundays, for example Mikkeller Running Club Bonn. All running groups with day and time are in the list on this page.
Of the 9 running groups in Bonn with a fixed weekday, most run on Tuesdays (3), Wednesdays (2) and Thursdays (2). 2 of these running groups meet at the weekend.
There is one parkrun in Bonn: Rheinaue 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.
