The MAXi Lauf is a German race series offering a wide selection of distances. Runners can choose from 5 km, 7.5 km, 10 km, 15 km, 20 km, 25 km, a half marathon, a marathon, 50 km, and 100 km. This variety distinguishes it from a single standard road race, as the series accommodates short-distance runners, marathoners, and ultrarunners.
Some MAXi Lauf races are officially measured, allowing results to be included in official athletics best lists. The series is listed in the DLV-linked laufen.de race calendar. Events are featured through cooperation with laufen.de or official registration with the German Athletics Association and its state associations.
