Reformationslauf Aurich-Egels 2026

The Reformationslauf Aurich-Egels is a running event in Aurich-Egels, East Frisia, Germany, held annually on October 31, Reformation Day. Organized by the Evangelical Lutheran Matthäus congregation in Wallinghausen, it functions as both a local church gathering and a community race. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. and concludes around 2:00 p.m. Participation is by free donation, with registration managed via the organizer’s website. The specific course map is not detailed, but the race takes place in Aurich-Egels and utilizes standard road-running event features like timing, start lists, results, photos, and reports. One past edition saw 220 runners on Reformation Day, by which time the Matthäus Church had organized it for the second time. Its unique aspect is the timing: participants convene on a Protestant holiday for a short local race, distinct from large commercial running festivals.
