44. Büttgener Herbst-RTF 2026

The Büttgener Herbst-RTF begins at the Sportforum/Radsporthalle on Olympiastrasse in Kaarst-Büttgen, with riders departing during a morning start window. As an autumn Radtourenfahrt, the day focuses on organized road cycling over marked routes, not a competition for finishing positions. Participants can select from 45 km, 78 km, or 111 km routes, offering a shorter distance and two longer options for more experienced cyclists. The route is fully signposted, allowing participants to follow arrows rather than relying on a map for navigation. The official listing also designates the event with “S” for Sternfahrt, the German star-ride format. It is organized by Förderverein Radsportstützpunkt Kaarst-Büttgen e.V. under the Nordrhein-Westfalen cycling association. This marks the 44th edition, indicating a long local cycling tradition rather than a singular event.
