Abendlaufserie Erfurt
The Abendlaufserie Erfurt is a Wednesday evening 10 km race series held in Erfurt, Thuringia, with starts typically at 18:00 during July. Participants meet at Am Reitplatz on Schützenstraße. The format is intentionally straightforward: no pre-registration, no entry fee, and no late-registration charge. It is organized by Lauf- und Triathlon-Verein Erfurt e.V., the local club responsible for multiple running and triathlon events in the city. The series employs three distinct 10 km course configurations instead of repeating the same route weekly. One configuration involves two 5 km laps, another is a flat 10 km loop, and the third is a more challenging out-and-back route with a turnaround point. This series appeals to runners seeking a timed midweek effort without the complexities of a large road race, and each finisher is presented with a certificate detailing their time.
