Herbstcross auf dem Bergfried 2026

Herbstcross auf dem Bergfried is a short autumn cross-country race held on the grounds of the Bergfried in Saalfeld, Germany. The distances range from 800 m to 4.8 km, designed for fast off-road running rather than a lengthy road race. It takes place outside the stadium and is classified as both a mountain run and a cross-country run. The Saalfeld Athletics Club has organized this event for many years. Past results indicate separate races for children and adults. The schedule includes categories for youth, open, masters, and local Saalfeld-Rudolstadt runners. One reported edition attracted 200 children and young people to the Bergfried grounds.
