Sparkassen Alb Marathon Schwäbisch Gmünd

The Sparkassen Alb Marathon in Schwäbisch Gmünd is an annual running event held in October. Since 1991 it attracts participants to routes that cross the three Kaiserberge Hohenstaufen, Rechberg and Stuifen. One of the longer options reaches 50 km with about 1100 meters of elevation gain; there is also a 60 km Alb Ultra and a 37 km Alb-Trail through natural landscapes.

The event offers a program on the Friday before the races with a public presentation, a briefing for the trail routes by Trailschmiede Ostalb, and a pasta party. Admission to the Friday program is free; the pasta meal has a contribution charge of 7 euros and drinks are available for purchase. Photos from the 2026 event are available free of charge.
