Lauf mal wieder mit in Schmidt 2026

Lauf mal wieder mit in Schmidt is a local running event held in Schmidt, a part of Nideggen in western Germany. The start area is located on Eichheckstraße. TuS Schmidt organizes the event, which offers more than just a single road race. Participants can select from a 21.1 km half marathon, a 10.8 km main race, a 4 km Jedermannlauf for general participation, Nordic Walking, and several short races for children. The day begins with the half marathon in the late morning. Following this are the Bambini, children’s, and balloon runs, preceding the main race which starts in the early afternoon. The event is part of both the Regio Aachen Laufcup and the Rur-Eifel-Volkslauf Cup. This attracts runners aiming to collect cup points, alongside families and casual participants. The children’s distances are specifically set at 750 m for the children’s run, 500 m for the Bambini run, and 250 m for the balloon run. Online pre-registration is available, with the option for in-person sign-ups on race day. The half marathon, a recent addition, was reportedly well-received by participants, according to the organizer.
