7. Coesfelder Pättkes RTF 2026

The Coesfelder Pättkes CTF is an off-road cycling event starting and finishing at the SCHOLZ Maschinenbau site on Rottkamp in Coesfeld, Münsterland. Held in early March with a late-morning start, it provides three marked routes rather than a single course: 26 km, 40 km, and 62 km. The short route crosses the rural southwest of Coesfeld, including unpaved sections, the former Bundeswehr forest, and Coesfeld Heath. A Family & Friends shortcut reduces this to 20 km, returning to the cake buffet. The 40 km route extends beyond the heath trails with minimal additional climbing. The 62 km route is the most demanding, incorporating 550 m of climbing with steep sections on Coesfelder Berg and in the Roruper Mark. RSV Coesfeld organizes the event, which has a relaxed local-club atmosphere; one participant described the previous edition as "quite nice" and expressed interest in the upcoming one.
