Getting to the start
The start/finish area is at Heinz-Steyer-Stadion, Magdeburger Str. 2, 01067 Dresden.
No specific Bahnhof (train station) is named on the official site. The official site states plainly that the race bib/start pass doubles as a public-transit ticket for Dresden’s Tarifzone on event day (until 4am the following day), covering trains, S-Bahn, trams, buses and ferries.
Bicycle parking is available near the start/finish area. The organisers explicitly state that they provide no car parking and warn that unofficial parking risks fines or towing.
This is not a date conflict— the 2026-08-14 race had already taken place by the check date, and the site now shows the next edition. Entry fee includes a Dresden public transportation ticket on the day of the competition.
Getting to the finish
Same location as the start (Heinz-Steyer-Stadion area). No specific Bahnhof is named.
Start shuttle
No shuttle bus service is mentioned on the official site.
Transit card
Dresden trams and buses run under the unified VVO (Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe) tariff, divided into fare zones, with tickets available on touch-screen machines inside most trams or via the DVB/VVO app. There is no rechargeable IC smartcard for casual visitors; single, day, or 4-trip tickets are the standard options, priced by how many zones are crossed.
A weekly ticket can be worthwhile for runners staying several days.
