With the Goethe.Culture.Run we celebrate the 250th anniversary of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's arrival in Weimar. At this event, running and culture go hand in hand. There are a total of four routes, which are peppered with cultural breaks. The names of the courses are based on Goethe's color wheel, which also inspired the color design of the event.
Registration for the Goethe.Culture.Run is possible from July 2nd, 2024 to April 24th, 2025, if the participation limit has not been reached before. The participation fee includes a functional event shirt. Team registrations benefit from a reduced participation fee.
