Recurring 5K races near Bonn

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Wilhelminaberg Trappen Marathon

The Wilhelminaberg Trappen Marathon course for runners includes a 248-meter staircase with 508 steps. This race takes place in Landgraaf, South Limburg, situated on the 93-meter Wilhelminaberg, which is the highest slag heap in the Netherlands. It is a lap-based road and stair race, offering distances from 5 km up to a marathon, alongside a kids run and a Business Run for teams of up to five. Each standard lap is 1,090 meters. Consequently, the 5 km requires 5 laps, the 10 km is 10 laps, the 10 mile is 16 laps, the half marathon is 21 laps, and the marathon is 42 laps. The full marathon involves runners ascending the staircase 44 times, totaling 22,350 steps. This is why Dutch media refers to it as the toughest marathon in the Netherlands. The kids run features a scaled-down version of the central element: it begins at the base of the stairs and concludes at the summit.

21. Korschenbroicher Waldlauf

The Korschenbroich Forest Run takes place at Am Sportplatz in Korschenbroich. The event offers 5K and 10K races, providing standard distances for participants. The event includes options for children and students, catering to a range of age groups. Nordic Walking is also available, allowing participants to join the same race setting without competing as runners.

79. Viersener Herbstwaldlauf Rund um den Bismarckturm

The Viersener Herbstwaldlauf Rund um den Bismarckturm is an autumn forest race in Viersen, Germany. All races start and finish at Stadion Hoher Busch. The program features a rolling 5k run, a 10k run, and a 7.25k walk or Nordic walk, catering to both runners and walkers. The 5k is open to adults aged 14 and older, with a one-hour time limit. The walking and Nordic walking event is open to participants aged 10 and older. Results are categorized by birth-year age groups, extending to older masters categories. The event also includes races for children and youth.

43. Styrumer Straßenlauf "Rund um die Neustadtstraße"

The Styrumer Straßenlauf “Rund um die Neustadtstraße” is a German road race centered on Neustadtstraße in Styrum. The event lists distances from 5 km to 100 km, with additional options of 7.5 km, 10 km, 15 km, 20 km, 25 km, a half marathon, and 50 km. It is listed in the laufen.de Laufkalender, allowing runners to find events by distance and select races on officially measured courses that contribute to German athletics best lists. Races in this calendar partner with laufen.de or are registered via the German Athletics Association system, which has overseen road running since 1963, providing rules, timing, and safety standards.

Winterlaufserie Marienfeld

Winterlaufserie Marienfeld is a winter running series held at the Marienfeld club house in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It takes place annually from late October to February, with runs on Saturdays or Sundays, functioning more like an organized winter training meet-up than a formal race. Participants can select from 3 km, 5 km, 7.5 km, 10 km, or 15 km distances, and walkers are welcome. Sportverein Schwarz-Weiss Marienfeld Laufbewerbe organizes the series. The start and finish lines are both located at the club house, with routes consisting of street runs through Marienfeld’s winter scenery. There is no timing system, emphasizing consistent training through the cold months over chasing official results. The series aims to provide local runners and walkers with motivation to continue training when the weather discourages outdoor activity. Registration is managed via the organizer’s website.

Styrumer Strassenlauf Rund um die NeustadtStrasse

The Styrumer Straßenlauf begins near Sportpark Styrum in Mülheim, taking place in late October. This event is Mülheim’s oldest running race, put on by Styrumer TV. The primary race is 5 km, with additional races for younger age groups. The name “Rund um die Neustadtstraße” reflects its neighborhood origins. The 5 km course winds through Sportpark Styrum. Children’s races include 1 km for U8 and U10 participants, and 2 km for U12, U14, and U16 participants. Styrumer Turnverein receives support for the event from Mülheimer SportService, reinforcing its connection to the city's local sports scene.

Halloween-Run Köln

Halloween-Run Köln is a Halloween-night running event in Cologne’s Forstbotanischer Garten, with 5 km and 10 km options plus children’s Candy Runs. It is a normal road or path race with a costume-heavy twist, not an obstacle race and not one where zombies chase runners. The mood is meant to be spooky but friendly, so it suits adults who want a themed run and families looking for something active to do with children. The route uses the familiar Rodenkirchen LÄUFT course through the botanical forest garden, with parts of it lit specially for Halloween. Runners often come in costume and wear headlamps, which makes the field look more like a moving parade of ghosts than a standard evening race. The event has drawn more than 1,400 participants, including over 400 toddlers and school children, and it is billed as the only night run through the Forstbotanischer Garten.

Südsauerlandlauf Wenden

The Südsauerlandlauf Wenden is a landscape run held in Wenden, Sauerland. Its routes utilize paved forest paths surrounding the town. This event focuses on local participation, offering Bambini, children's, and youth runs, rather than being a single-distance road race. The course crosses the Südsauerland on firm woodland tracks, featuring a mix of light and moderate climbs instead of a flat city layout. SG Wenden organizes the event, providing runners with training plans tailored to various performance goals. No future edition is currently listed.

Fackel-Lauf Wuppertal

The Fackel-Lauf Wuppertal is a night run on the Nordbahntrasse, a former rail route through Wuppertal now used by runners, walkers, and cyclists. It takes place in November, with darkness integral to the event: participants use their own headlamps, flashlights, string lights, or LED gear, and the route is illuminated by these personal lights and the glow of torches. The format is straightforward and suitable for beginners, featuring one 5 km lap with the option to extend to 10 km by adding a second lap at the event. The focus is on the charitable cause and the enjoyment of running, rather than competitive pressure. The start is on the Nordbahntrasse, and the path remains open to the public, requiring runners to share it and stay to the right. A support cyclist leads and another follows to ensure no one is left behind in the dark, with Johanniter providing medical assistance. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. After finishing, the race bib entitles participants to a punch plus a Weckmann or a slice of pizza. The nearby Sportcenter Eskesberg offers changing facilities, restrooms, parking, and a place to rest post-run.

Walk beim Rursee-Marathon

Rursee Marathon

The Rursee Marathon begins in Einruhr-Simmerath, within Germany’s Eifel National Park. The main race starts at 10:30 on the first Sunday in November. First held in 1997, it is a trail-heavy marathon, not a flat city race, covering 42.2 km of nature tracks with approximately 370 metres of elevation gain. The marathon typically attracts 400 to 500 runners, and the entire event draws about 1,000 to 3,000 participants across multiple distances. The weekend offers several event options for runners and walkers: a 16.5 km race, a 5 km race, a 2 km children’s race, and a 16.5 km walk or Nordic walk on Saturday. The 16.5 km run was introduced after the marathon was established, and the Rursee-Ultra, a longer distance, is held every second year. While the course setting is a primary attraction, it is not a simple sightseeing run; the marathon is generally considered a challenging race on natural paths around the Rursee area.

Martins-Crosslauf

Martins-Crosslauf is a German cross-country race name associated with the St Martin period in November. Listings indicate a Martins-Cross-Lauf in Krefeld, and VfL Altenstadt organizes a St. Martin's Crosslauf in Hesse. The name appears in multiple local running contexts, not as a single documented national series. The format is standard cross-country: runners leave the road to compete on natural terrain, with local athletics clubs managing the event. The Altenstadt event is part of the Hessian cross-country scene and has hosted the Hessian Cross Country Championships. Preussen Krefeld Leichtathletik also lists Martins-Cross-Lauf among its athletics events.

About 5K races in Bonn

Bonn Base Miles

Bonn hosts 75 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run the Rhine first. The route runs 2 km south to Rheinau Park on a flat line. The pedestrian trail stays quiet and scenic the whole way. The waterside path fills with runners, bikers and strollers near Rheinauen. Rheinau Park gives you the lake, Japanischen Garten, and that more natural side that feels like woods. Community Run Laufladen Bonn meets on Wednesdays at 19:00. Parkrun Rheinaue meets on Saturdays at 09:00. Selfcare Runclub and SocialRunBonn cover the social miles. Bonn-Marathon, Kottenforst 10er, Bonner Nachtlauf, #ZeroHungerRun Bonn, and Bonner Silvesterlauf keep the calendar honest.

Locals ride Bonn like a small gravel hub with a big Rhine engine. The city gives almost 300 kilometers of cycle paths, so Z2 can stay easy along the river. Riders use Baroque in and around Bonn, Bundesviertel and Bad Godesberg, Rheindorfer Runde, Path of Democracy, Museum Route, and the Cycle route of sustainability for steady days. Bonner Gravel Club and Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club Bonn/Rhein-Sieg make the group ride scene simple. Kottenforst has wide forest paths for riding. Siebengebirge brings short, steep climbs, technical forest paths, and fast descents. Voreifel adds long gravel sections and open views. Campus Cycling Circuit, Ride To The Hills Gravel-Ride, and Bonn-Triathlon sit as anchor events.

May and June feel like the cleanest block for both sports because Bonn’s city cycling season runs from May 29 to June 18, 2026. Summer puts runners on the Rhine early and keeps cyclists chasing base miles toward Bad Godesberg, Beuel, Mehlem, Kottenforst, and the Ahrtal. Bonn sits in one of Germany’s warmest regions, so Z2 and intervals need some timing when the day heats up. Winter moves runners toward Bonner Nikolauslauf, Bonner Silvesterlauf, and Winterlaufserie Alfter. Cyclists keep the rhythm on the flatter Rhine paths or take cyclocross energy into Kottenforst when the forest paths suit it.
