11. Tangermünder Lichterlauf 2026

The Tangermünder Lichterlauf is an evening running event in Tangermünde, taking place at Bleichenberg on the Elbe riverbank. It features a 5 km run, a 10 km run, a 10 km team relay, and a short children's race, catering to participants from young children to beginners, hobby runners, club athletes, and relay teams. The course follows the river with repeated laps: 5 laps for the 5 km and 10 laps for the 10 km. The 5 km is designed for casual participation, while the 10 km is more competitive, with a narrow course where overtaking is a factor. The relay emphasizes teamwork alongside timing. Following the race, an after-run party with music and drinks will be held in Tangermünde. The event is also part of the Elbe-Ohre-Cup, integrating it into the regional running schedule.
