Chemnitz is preparing: Over 10,000 runners at the company run!

The countdown is running! The SchnelleStelle.de company run in Chemnitz is just around the corner and is already causing anticipation among runners and spectators alike. On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, the city center will be transformed into a vibrant running arena. The starting shot will be fired at 5:45 p.m. by the mayor of Chemnitz, Sven Schulze.

Over 10,000 participants from more than 550 companies have registered and will give their best on the 4.8 kilometer route. The paths lead from the market via Webergasse and Theaterstrasse to Hartmannstrasse and Schloßteichpark before returning to the destination at the market. At this event, it's not just sporting performance that counts, but also team spirit. The participants start in six waves of 15 minutes each.

Traffic restrictions and recommendations

To ensure that the company run runs smoothly, the running routes will be closed from 5:00 p.m. to around 8:30 p.m. Sportmacher GmbH, organizer of the event, asks all road users to pay attention to the designated no-parking zones and recommends a bypass via Leipziger Straße, Reichsstraße and other main streets. To make travel easier, visitors are encouraged to use the city center parking spaces and local public transport. Changes to public transport will be announced in good time via CVAG.

Your physical well-being is also taken care of: various catering options are available, from grilled and fish specialties to pasta dishes and sweets and drinks. Consumers can book tokens until August 27th to avoid cash transactions on site.

A look at the participants

This year's event promises to be an exciting event, especially with a record participation of 10,944 runners from 557 companies on the table. This impressive number shows impressively how much enthusiasm there is for company runs in Germany, as well as in other cities, for example B2Run or the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge, which is the largest of its kind with over 50,000 participants.

It is the combination of sport, teamwork and a sense of community that makes such events very special days. Company runs not only offer an opportunity to exercise, but also strengthen cohesion within teams.

So we can't wait to see how the people of Chemnitz will meet the challenge and create an unforgettable atmosphere. The entire city team and the runners are looking forward to a top-class experience together!
