The Goethe.Culture.Run is not just about athletic performance – it also celebrates culture and history, two things that fascinated Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The medal awarded to finishers at the finish line would surely have thrilled him, as he was not only a master of words but also a passionate collector of coins and medals.

At the Goethe.Kultur.Lauf, the journey is the destination – a route that not only takes you through Weimar’s historic scenery but also offers eight special cultural breaks to give both body and mind a creative pause. Whether you listen to the sounds of young musicians or experience gripping scenes from Goethe’s Faust – each station offers a cultural surprise.

The Goethe.Kultur.Lauf is much more than just a running event. It is a journey to ourselves, a dialogue with the world, and a dance with our culture. Those who once grasp the magic surrounding the Goethe.Culture.Run know that the journey itself is the goal. "What comes from the heart, touches the heart." And so, the Goethe.Culture.Run is sprinkled with cultural stations that ignite the passion for both culture and running.
