Schlösserlauf Potsdam: 5000 starting places fully booked - traffic chaos threatens!

Sportpark Luftschiffhafen, 14471 Potsdam, Deutschland - in Potsdam there is a big sporting event: the Propotsdam castle run, which will go into the 20th round on June 15, 2025. With over 5000 starting places that were already booked in February, the event awaits numerous running enthusiasts. A look at the preparations and changes shows that the enthusiasm among the participants is unbroken.

The participants can choose between two distances: the half marathon over 21.0975 kilometers, which starts at 9 a.m., and the 10 km run that gets under 9:20 a.m. The young runners are not neglected either: a children's run over 1000 meters starts at 9:30 a.m. There is a time limit of three hours for the half marathon, while the participants of the 10 km run have to reach a maximum of two hours and forty minutes. Last year, 4418 active people set a new record, and this year's run also promises to become a spectacle.

traffic impairments and details about registration

If the sporting ambition is not enough, it should be said that there will also be some traffic disruptions that day. From 8:30 a.m., temporary road closures will be carried out in Potsdam, which apply at various points until 12:00 p.m. In addition, several tram lines from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. will fail, and the bus lines 695 and X15 are completely affected. This should be planned in detail for commuters and arrivals so that the way to the Air Schiffhafen sports park does not become an obstacle run. Potsdam-schloesserlauf.de has provided more information for this.

Another important point: Registration has been closed since June 2, 2025, and late registrations are no longer possible. The resale of starting places is also prohibited. All runners are asked not to use places under the wrong name to ensure security in an emergency. Experiments of fraud when selling starting places have already occurred, which is why a stricter focus must be on identification.
