Rainforest Run Freiburg 2026: Running, Nature and Goosebumps at the Old Wiehrebahnhof

On Sunday, June 14, 2026, the Old Wiehrebahnhof in Freiburg will transform into a vibrant meeting point for running enthusiasts, families, and supporters of rainforest conservation. The 7th Rainforest Run Freiburg combines sporting challenge with a clear social goal: every participation signals support for reforestation, climate protection, and the preservation of rainforests.

A Run with Attitude and Heartbeat

The start from 9:00 AM already carries the special blend of this charity run: a relaxed stadium atmosphere without performance pressure, but with real excitement on the track. Runners can choose between a 1-kilometer children’s run, 2.6 kilometers short distance, 5.2 kilometers middle distance, and 7.8 kilometers long distance. This keeps the event open for beginners, families, and ambitious hobby runners.

Route through Wiehre and Sternwald

The route leads through the Freiburg district of Wiehre and along the Sternwald. This combination creates an appeal that many city runs do not offer: urban rhythm, green backdrop, and the feeling of experiencing a little escape from everyday life in the midst of the run. Particularly the longer distances unfold their character here when speed, strategy, and fitness play together seamlessly.

Supporting Program with Festival Feeling

The Rainforest Run is more than just a timing event. Live music, a sustainability market, information booths on environmental and climate protection, and local refreshments give the day a festival character. This mixture of movement, encounter, and message makes the event so special: those who participate here not only experience a run, but a collective statement for the rainforest.

What the Entry Fees Are Used For

The entry fees and donations flow entirely into a reforestation project of the Bruno Manser Fund. It supports the indigenous Penan community in Borneo in setting up tree nurseries and reforestation of deforested areas. The athletic effort thus has a clear impact beyond Freiburg.

Conclusion: A Run That Works Beyond the Finish Line

The 7th Rainforest Run Freiburg 2026 offers athletic energy, a family atmosphere, and a credible commitment to the rainforest. Those who want to experience a connection of movement, community, and meaning should mark this date and experience the start at the Old Wiehrebahnhof live.
