The Goethe.Culture.Run 2025 in Weimar - culture and sport in harmony!

To mark the 250th anniversary of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's arrival in Weimar, the Goethe.Culture.Run will take place on April 27, 2025. This running event with cultural breaks is not to be understood as a classic race in which the aim is to achieve the best time. Rather, this unique Weimar Run combines sport and culture to create a very special experience. Running paired with the fascination of Goethe in the cultural city of Weimar make the Goethe.Culture.Run in Thuringia so special. Even if the performance aspect of this innovative running event takes a back seat, an attractive medal awaits all finishers at the finish line.
