Stadtmeisterschaft Cross Leipzig 2026

The Stadtmeisterschaft Cross Leipzig is a cross-country race held in November at Stadion des Friedens on Max-Liebermann-Straße in Leipzig. It is included in the Stadtrangliste Leipzig, contributing to the city's running standings rather than being a standalone event. The race options are 10 km, 7 km, and 3 km, with events for children and youth alongside adult races. The race is organized by Leipzig athletics clubs, with SG Motor Gohlis-Nord Leipzig having a strong connection to the event, and the Leipziger Leichtathletik Verband listed as an organizer in previous years. Participants include children, youth runners, active adults, and masters, making it a local championship for all age groups. This race occurs late in the Stadtrangliste season, preceding the Auewaldlauf, which is the final scoring race. The series connects to Leipzig’s Läuferball tradition. One past edition was canceled, but the event has otherwise been held consistently in its November cross-country slot.
