NCT/UCC-Benefizlauf – FortSCHRITT gegen Krebs 2026

The NCT/UCC Benefizlauf - FortSCHRITT gegen Krebs is a timed charity lap run in Dresden's Großer Garten, taking place in the late afternoon in September. Participants can start at any time during the two-hour running period; there is no fixed mass start. Runners, walkers, those out for a slower stroll, and families with children are welcome, and there is no registration fee. The course is a 2 km loop along the main avenue of the Großer Garten, with the start and finish at Palaisteich. Instead of an entry fee, each participant registers individually and donates for every lap completed. The funds support oncology projects at NCT/UCC Dresden, including sports therapy in pediatric oncology. The event also features a family program, and teams like "Gut genug gesegnet" use the run to show solidarity, receiving team shirts near registration before the running period begins.
