MORE ABOUT RUNNING IN WIESBADEN

Wiesbaden is a spa town — and running here starts right in the middle of it, in the green Kurpark. We Up brings together the city's running groups, jogging clubs, and run clubs, from the relaxed park loop to the climb up the Neroberg.

The central jogging loop runs through the Kurpark behind the Kurhaus and the adjoining Warmer Damm. If you're after elevation, take on the Neroberg, Wiesbaden's local mountain, with views out over the city, then continue through the Nerotal-Anlagen into the sprawling Stadtwald all the way up to the Platte. For flat and long, head to the Rhine: through the Schlosspark Biebrich and along the roughly 3.6-kilometer promenade around the Schiersteiner Hafen.

Groups meet in nearly every neighborhood — in the Rheingauviertel, in Biebrich, Schierstein, Dotzheim, or Klarenthal. Meeting point, day, time, and pace are listed for every group ahead of time. Many runs are free and explicitly aimed at beginners, with no pressure to perform. Just how much Wiesbaden loves to run showed at the 2025 City Marathon, which in its fourth edition sent around 4,700 runners through the city center.

A group in the spa quarter is quick to find, and the next event is quick to book. The best part of running in Wiesbaden is the after-work loop through the Kurpark with people who are happy to stick around afterward. Join in and run with us.

Running in Wiesbaden — good to know

Is this suitable for beginners too?
Yes, explicitly. Many running groups in Wiesbaden 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 Wiesbaden are free. You just come by and run along – no registration, membership or fee.
Where do running groups meet in Wiesbaden?
All across the city — Kurpark, Warmer Damm, Neroberg, Nerotal-Anlagen, Wiesbadener Stadtwald and Schlosspark Biebrich are among the most popular meeting points. Every group on We Up shows its exact meeting point.
Where do I find run meetups in Wiesbaden?
Right here on this page: We Up lists the city's run meetups, running groups and run clubs in one place, with day, time, pace and meeting point. Follow a group or see its next runs.
Are there free running groups in Wiesbaden?
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?
From a relaxed 5-kilometre beginner run to a tempo group under 5:00/km, there is everything. Check each group’s pace and feel free to try several until it fits.
When do the running groups meet?
Mostly weekday evenings and weekend mornings – many have fixed weekly slots. You’ll find the exact times for each group and run right here on the page.
