RACE Runclub at Hugenottenplatz: Erlangen runs together

RACE Runclub brings Erlangen into motion

On Saturday, July 4, 2026, the running community will meet at Hugenottenplatz in Erlangen for the RACE Runclub. The Social Run is aimed at runners of all performance levels and combines training, exchange, and a collective finish in a motivating group.

Running together, arriving together

RACE stands for Run And Connect Erlangen. This principle defines the event: no solo battle against the clock, but tempo work in a collective, support in the last meters, and the special feeling when a run becomes a meeting place. The stadium atmosphere is replaced here by the pulse of the city center, the fan chants come in the form of encouragement, and the excitement of the playing field arises on the course.

Hugenottenplatz as an urban starting point

Hugenottenplatz is centrally located in Erlangen's city center and is easily accessible as a meeting point. Those arriving by public transport benefit from the free city zone with the City Line 299, which connects, among other places, Hugenottenplatz. There are also parking garages and underground garages around the city center that, according to the City of Erlangen, offer available capacities at many times of the day. Thus, the run starts without rush and with a clear focus on movement.

More than just kilometers

The RACE Runclub thrives on its social component: first running, then sitting together, making contacts, and planning the next session. Especially for new faces, ambitious hobby runners, and anyone who likes to train in a supportive group, this is an ideal entry point. The format combines endurance, a sense of community, and sports routine with a relaxed, open atmosphere.

What visitors can expect

Those attending on July 4 will experience a motivating group run in the middle of Erlangen, simply organized and with real community character. The event promises movement, encounters, and fresh running energy in the open air. Anyone who is enthusiastic about running, social fitness, and an active city culture should experience the RACE Runclub live.
