Ueckemünder Weihnachtslauf 2026

The Ueckermünder Weihnachtslauf is a winter running event held in Ueckermünde, a town in northeastern Germany. The race is based around Sporthalle Goethestraße and organized by SV Einheit Ueckermünde e.V. It provides four race distances: 600 m, 2 km, 5 km, and 9.4 km, accommodating children, novice runners, and experienced club runners. This event also serves as the final race for scoring in the UER-Laufcup series. The run commences near Regionale Schule Ehm-Welk, utilizing city streets before proceeding out of town on a turnaround course and returning. Local traffic adjustments are implemented on race morning, with closures on Goethestraße for the start and on Ueckerstraße near the bascule bridge during the race. The event is regarded locally as a customary winter race, possessing a practical town-run character instead of a large-scale spectacle.
