14. Brückenlauf 2026

The Brückenlauf is Düsseldorf’s Rhine-side running event, centered on two of the city’s bridges: the Oberkassel Bridge and the Rheinknie Bridge. It is a local classic in the running calendar of North Rhine-Westphalia’s state capital, attracting top athletes, families, school groups, and company teams to the same event. The route follows the Rhine and crosses the bridges, offering runners open views back toward Düsseldorf’s city skyline. Sparda-Bank West ties a charity element directly to participation, donating 20 euros per runner to Stiftung RTL - Wir helfen Kindern e.V., linking the mass start with support for children’s aid work.
