The Sießener Teufelslauf Hörenhausen is a running event in Hörenhausen, organized by Sportfreunde Sießen i.W. It is an evening race with a devilish name and a more challenging mood than a casual after-work jog. Runners can choose between a 16 km route and a shorter 5 km option.
The 16 km course goes through forest, over hills, and along tougher passages, demanding more than a steady road-running rhythm. The organizers often change the course and add new sections; past routes have been described as both attractive and demanding. The race returned after a two-year Corona pause and was on at least its eighth edition, giving it local history without feeling like a mass event. New runners are welcome, but the tone is clear: expect panting, laughing, and perhaps some cursing before the finish.
