NV Citylauf St. Pölten 2026

The NV Citylauf St. Pölten is a road race held in St. Pölten, Lower Austria, each October. All races begin and end on Rathausplatz. Participants can choose between a 10 km race, also known as the NV City Night Run, or a nearly 5 km race designated the Ford Schirak-Lehr 5er. The shorter adult course is flat, making it suitable for runners seeking a direct city race with minimal elevation gain. The event includes more than just the two adult races. Company and club teams may compete in a 4 x 2,000 m relay. Younger participants have separate U16 and U18 races, school races for U12 and U14 categories, and U8 children’s races covering 720 m. UNION St. Pölten Leichtathletik is the organizer. Previous events have provided race photos for personal use, contributing to its character as a community-organized city race that accommodates adults, teams, school-age runners, and young children within the same schedule.
