Steinfurter Nikolauslauf 10 km

The Steinfurter Nikolauslauf 10 km begins on the historic market square in Burgsteinfurt and finishes at the Nikolausmarkt. This is an annual pre-Christmas road race in Steinfurt, Germany, held as part of the town’s Nikolausmarkt and organized by Marathon Steinfurt Laufbewerbe. The event has a local feel, typically attracting between 100 and 300 participants. The route starts with a section through the historic old town, then proceeds to a loop on natural forest paths around the Bagno recreation area before returning to the market. The race originated in 1975 and has completed over 50 editions, establishing itself as a fixture in the town’s running calendar. Club runners from the region, including teams such as LG Brillux Münster, FC Nordkirchen, TuS Altenberge, and local Steinfurt groups, compete alongside recreational runners.
