"Mile of Sport" on the market square for the first time
On Sunday, April 26, 2026, the "Mile of Sports" will take place on the market square in front of the cathedral in Mainz from 12:00 noon. At this event, organized by the Mainz City Sports Association, many clubs from the Mainz sports scene will once again present themselves. The Mile will be opened by the Mayor and Head of the Sports Department Daniel Köbler as well as the President of the Sportbund Rheinessen, Klaus Kuhn and the host Alexander Reinemann from the Stadtsportverband Mainz.
For the first time, the event will take place in collaboration with City Management Mainz on a Sunday when stores are open for business, on the market square in Mainz.
The clubs will showcase themselves at 21 booths and stations. For example, there will once again be a mini-golf course, a batting cage, the 05ers’ Balla Box, and many other hands-on activities. A glider will also be on display in the square and is sure to be a major eye-catcher. “The market square will be packed,” says Alexander Reinemann, chairman of the Mainz City Sports Association.
In addition to the clubs’ booths, there will also be a stage program lasting several hours. Alongside dance performances and other athletic demonstrations, interviews will also take place on stage. The 2026 Sports Mile begins at 12 p.m. and ends around 5 p.m.
