51. Winterlaufserie 2026/2027, 2. Wertungslauf

LSV Porz’s Winterlaufserie is a three-race winter series held at Haus des Waldes in Gut Leidenhausen, Köln-Porz, with events in late January and February. The second race, a scoring event, is positioned midway through the series. Participants can compete in this single event or use it as a step toward longer distances within the complete program. Distances offered include 1 km for schoolchildren, 5 km and 10 km for road runners, a 15 km race, a half marathon, and a 5 km category for walking and Nordic walking. The series is managed by LSV Porz / Köln according to DLV rules. The measured 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, and half marathon courses are officially recognized for ranking lists. The course is designed for competitive winter running, not as a novelty event. The organizer characterizes the 5 km loop as one of the quickest routes in Cologne and its vicinity, and serious runners use the series to gauge their current fitness. The existing records indicate the caliber of athletes it draws: the men's 10 km record is 29:45, women's 10 km results are typically in the mid-34-minute range, and the half marathon records stand at 1:07:58 for men and 1:18:17 for women. The participant range is wide, covering age groups from young children to masters categories up to M/W 75 and 80. Those completing the entire series receive a commemorative gift; full-series entrants have a choice between a trophy and a towel. Children participating in the 1 km race are awarded a medal.
