On October 18, 2026, the charming town of Ditzingen will host the annual Ditzinger Keltenlauf, featuring a variety of running events for all ages and skill levels. The day kicks off at 9:00 AM with an introductory race covering 6.7 kilometers in one round, designed to welcome newcomers to the sport. Immediately following at 9:05 AM is the Himmelein Fire Brigade Run, also spanning 6.7 kilometers over a single loop but with a unique twist for participants who compete fully clad in their firefighting gear. This event not only celebrates local heroes but offers an added challenge and sense of camaraderie among competitors. The main attraction begins at 10:00 AM when runners take on the challenging 13-kilometer course, which involves two rounds around a scenic route through Ditzingen's historic streets and lush green spaces. This race is not only about speed but also showcases the town’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. For younger participants, there are special events designed to introduce children to running in a fun and engaging way. The Gerüstbau Mahr Bambinilauf at 11:30 AM offers a short 500-meter dash for kids, while the Stadtwerke Ditzingen Schülerlauf starting at noon provides a slightly longer 1.7-kilometer race. Online registration remains open until October 16, 2026, and early registrants who sign up by October 4th will receive personalized start numbers with their names in colors corresponding to each specific event. On-site number pick-up is available on Saturday from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the race venue or on Sunday morning starting at 7:45 AM, just before each respective race. Late registrants can still join by visiting the registration desk between October 16 and early hours of October 18th. Late entry fees vary from €2 for children’s races to €3 for longer events like the Fire Brigade Run or main race. For more information about event details, schedules, and location maps, visit the official website or follow their Instagram page where updates are regularly posted leading up to the big day.
