Der Alstertallauf 2026

The Alstertallauf is a running event in Hamburg that takes place on the upper Alster hiking trail, a green path alongside the Alster river. It is intended as a family-friendly run for children, adults, regular runners, and casual exercisers, so its focus extends beyond club competition. The route crosses one of the city’s quieter nature corridors, offering river views and leafy surroundings instead of a closed urban loop. The event is structured around local organizers, volunteer support, and a community atmosphere, with participants and helpers considered part of the same race day rather than separate groups.
