11. Unstrutlauf 2026

The Unstrutlauf is a September running event in Dingelstädt, Thuringia, held at St. Josef Gymnasium and following the Unstrut river. It features five courses: short children's and youth races of about 1-2 km, 5 km and 10 km runs, and a half marathon. This allows schoolchildren, casual runners, club runners, and half-marathoners to participate in the local race day. The routes consist of paved bike paths alongside the Unstrut, incorporating some short climbs, making it more than just a flat road race. Aid stations provide drinks and fruit at regular intervals, and participants receive bratwurst post-race. The event began in 2014, is managed by the St. Josef Dingelstädt running group, and directs all profits to regional non-profit projects.
