Traditionally, the Tübingen city run through the alleyways of the old town takes place on the last day of the Umbrian-Provençal market during the Sunday shopping opening. Even after 30 years, the basic idea of combining popular sport and top-class sport is still upheld. With competitions for different target and age groups, there is something for everyone.

The 10-kilometer run is divided into three laps: The runners start in Wilhelmstraße, then run three laps through Tübingen's old town and the Umbrian-Provençal market with a turnaround in front of the Neue Aula around Geschwister-Scholl-Platz. Beforehand, the pupils run in different age groups. The 3-kilometer run through the old town starts at 11 am. The Handbike Challenge, a wheelchair race, starts at 10 a.m. on the circuit through the city with a turnaround on Wilhelmstraße and a finish at the Neue Aula. The social partners of the Erbe Run are the Working Group for Life and the online youth counseling service Youth-Life-Line.
