Sport in Munich

Doing sports with Rausgegangen Munich - cycling, bouldering, HIIT, yoga & much more

Munich is a city of sport, and not just because a certain soccer club in red and white regularly sends half the city into a collective frenzy. The sports event scene in the Bavarian capital is much broader, more colorful and more surprising than you might think, and once you start scouring the event calendar for sporting events, you quickly realize that you don't have to sit on the sofa as often as you do. The Olympic Park is the absolute heart of Munich's sporting landscape: the extensive grounds with their iconic architecture are not only one of the most beautiful backdrops for sport in the whole of Germany, but also the venue for regular running events such as the Munich Marathon in October, the half marathon and the B2Run company run, where you can run along yourself or simply cheer on along the route, both of which are valid options depending on your own fitness level. If you love basketball, the SAP Garden is a brand new top address right next to the Olympic Park, as the German Basketball Cup final will be held there from 2026 to 2028, and the Munich City Gladiators and Bayern Munich Basketball Bundesliga season schedule regularly fills the hall. For those who prefer to get active rather than watch, the Olympic Park also offers regular sports activities and open training formats on the grounds, and the English Garden also hosts running clubs, outdoor fitness groups and yoga sessions all year round, making it one of the most popular meeting places for active Munich residents. For those who prefer to run through neighborhoods rather than parks, the Munich City Run is a regular event that combines sport with a real urban experience and is just as much an experience for spectators as it is for the runners themselves. Urban sports also meet culture and music in the Olympic Park, when skateboarding, BMX and wakeboard events transform the grounds into a festival of urban sports culture, where you wonder whether you are attending a sporting event or a concert, and the answer is usually both. The annual Munich Sports Festival at Königsplatz is another highlight in the city's sports calendar, where over 70 sports are presented in workshops, demonstrations and trial sessions, giving you the chance to try out sports you might never have considered otherwise. Munich simply doesn't make it easy to stay immobile, and that's meant in the best possible way. To make sure you don't miss out on any sporting events, whether you want to take part or cheer them on, it's worth taking a regular look at our events calendar on Rausgegangen, because you'll find the city's best sporting events right here before the starting places are gone.
