Recurring 5K races near Frankfurt am Main
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
6. Kalbsvilla Run
The Kalbsvilla Run takes place in Ortenberg, Hessen, using the Kalbsvilla at Am Mühltor as the event hub. Participants can choose from a 5 km run, a 10 km run, a half marathon, or 5 km Nordic Walking.
Additionally, there are races for Bambini, children, and youth, making the event suitable for families and adult runners alike. This event also serves as a charity run. Transponder timing is provided by Race Result, with bibs and timing managed from a tent near the finish line.
Stadtlauf Bürstadt
Stadtlauf Bürstadt begins and ends at Wilhelminenstraße 1 in Bürstadt, Hessen. Runners gather during the Bürstädter Kerwe, not for a separate race day. VfR 1910 Bürstadt e.V. organizes this local road-running event, which began in 2001. The race offers 10 km, 5 km, 2.5 km, walking, children’s races, and a 4 x 2.5 km relay. The main start is at 11:00 AM, and the event typically sees between 501 and 1,000 participants.
The course is flat and fast, featuring short laps. The 2.5 km race is one lap, the 5 km run and walk are two laps, and the 10 km race is four laps, though a team can split it as a relay. Children have their own 400 m Bambini run, with free entry and a free shirt for the youngest participants; one year, 91 children ran this race. All finishers get a functional shirt, and the top three in each category receive prize money. The day concludes after the awards with food, drinks, and live music, continuing the Kerwe atmosphere.
Hugo-Wenninger-Lauf Großauheim
The Hugo-Wenninger-Lauf Großauheim is a road running event in Hanau, Hessen, Germany, centered in the Großauheim district and the Spitzenweg area. It begins at 09:30 from the sports hall, offering several short-to-middle distances: 10.3 km, 5 km, 1 km, 0.8 km, 0.3 km, and 0.1 km. The program features a 5-kilometer race alongside children’s and youth races, catering to local runners and families as well as adults seeking a longer run.
TS Großauheim Laufbewerbe organizes the event, which was first held in 1971. Online registration is available through the organizer, who also publishes start lists, participant lists, rankings, photos, and reports. Specific route details beyond the sports-hall start and road-race format are limited, and the listing indicates no further edition is currently confirmed.
Bad Homburger Kurparklauf
The Bad Homburger Kurparklauf begins next to the casino in Bad Homburg's Kurpark, the spa park located in the center of this Hessen town. This is a yearly road race offering two straightforward choices: 5 kilometers or 10 kilometers. It serves as a local event for runners seeking a manageable park-based race instead of a large city marathon.
The series originated in 1994 and is managed by the Sportbüro of the City of Bad Homburg. Typically, a few hundred runners participate, with event listings indicating its size ranges from 301 to 500 participants. One recent edition recorded 234 finishers. Registration is necessary via the organizer's website. Race result manages the timing, and runners can retrieve certificates post-race.
La Corsa di Paolo
49. Internationaler Hugenottenlauf
The Hugenottenlauf takes place in Neu-Isenburg on the third Sunday of September, an annual event since 1977. It is the largest running event in its district, offering distances from a children's run to a half marathon, accommodating participants of all levels.
The start and finish are at the Sportpark, with routes crossing city streets and forest paths surrounding Neu-Isenburg. Many runners participate, some using it as preparation for the Frankfurt Marathon in late October. Its long history establishes it as a traditional local running fixture in the region.
46. Winterlaufserie Rodgau Jügesheim (1)
The Rodgau Winterlaufserie is a four-race winter running series held in Rodgau-Jügesheim, with events taking place between November and February. Organized by JSK Rodgau, the series focuses on a 10 km race starting and ending at the Maingau-Energie-Stadion near the Weichsee. The attraction is clear: a measured, record-eligible course allowing runners to compete during the colder months and build race fitness for spring.
The course is a flat loop through the Jügesheim forest, featuring well-kept paths and some asphalt stretches. Each kilometer is marked, and the course measurement adheres to DLV/IAAF guidelines, meaning times from the 10 km can be used for official record lists. This is beneficial for club runners aiming for standards or personal bests, and the format also suits individuals seeking consistent winter races without complex arrangements on event days.
50. Limes- Winterlaufserie - 1. Lauf über 10 km
The Limes-Winterlaufserie is a three-part winter running series in Pohlheim, with the first race being a 10 km run. This opener counts toward the overall series standings, providing a foundation for runners in the subsequent races.
The field includes club runners from the wider region, with participants from the Lahn-Dill district finishing near the front in the initial race. Max Vor of TV Haiger placed sixth overall in the 10 km and third in the M30 category, securing a favorable early position for the series classification. This race marks the 49th edition of the series, which has a long history.
Winterlaufserie Seligenstadt
Winterlaufserie Seligenstadt is a running series held in November in Seligenstadt, Hessen. It features a 10 km road race, a 5 km run, and a children’s or youth race of approximately 1 km. The races commence in the afternoon at 14:30, and the event typically attracts a few hundred participants, with fields usually ranging from 301 to 500 runners.
The 10 km is the primary event. The 5 km course can be partly slippery, contributing to a winter-series atmosphere rather than a fast summer road race. Recent results indicate a blend of swift club runners and local competitors. The men’s 10 km has been won in the mid-34-minute range, the 5 km winner finished just over 18 minutes, and runners from SSC Hanau-Rodenbach are present in the results. Registration, start lists, results, reports, and photos are managed online via the organizer’s website.
Adventslauf Giessen
Adventslauf Giessen is a late-autumn road running event in Giessen, Hessen, organized by MTV 1846 Gießen Laufbewerbe. The main race is a 10 km run with about 40 meters of climbing, and the program also includes a 5 km run, shorter children’s and school races, and Nordic Walking. It usually draws a few hundred participants, so it feels more like a local club race than a large city event. The race belongs to the Mittelhessen-Cup, placing it in the regional running calendar.
The start is on the sports field at Heegstrauchweg, with the 10 km runners going off first and the 5 km runners shortly after. The event dates back to 1985, and recent editions show a steady community setup: club organizers, volunteer helpers, local runners, families, and walkers sharing the same Advent-season race morning. The available facts do not describe a famous landmark course, but they do point to a practical, accessible road race with enough distances for both regular competitors and younger runners.
Winterlaufserie Mörfelden
Winterlaufserie Mörfelden is a winter road-running series in Mörfelden-Walldorf, Hesse, Germany. The race begins at the Waldstadion on Rüsselsheimer Str. It has been held annually since 1977 and is organized by SKV 1879 Mörfelden Lauf. The program lists a 5 km run, and Nordic Walking is also available, catering to those seeking a brief winter challenge instead of a long-distance event.
The course is a road race starting near the Waldstadion, with distances of 5 km mentioned in the series listings. The event's local history is reflected in the online availability of results from past editions. Following the series, the club conducts a modest closing ceremony. Small tokens of appreciation are presented to consistent participants and supporters, such as Klaus von der Grün, Rudi Dötsch, Ilse Heck, and the Pojezny family.
57. Pfungstädter Advents-Crosslauf
The Pfungstädter Advents-Crosslauf is a cross-country running event in Pfungstadt, Hessen. It has been held on the first Sunday of Advent since 1969. Races begin and end at the TSV Stadium on Christian-Meid-Straße, organized by TSV Pfungstadt Laufbewerbe. The event offers runs for children and youth, as well as adult cross-country distances, from under 1 km up to approximately 7.8 km. This suits young runners, club athletes, and local adults seeking a winter cross race instead of a road race.
The course consists of repeating cross-country loops, including a 3.7 km loop for some races, with longer routes using similar terrain. Participant numbers are typically modest, between 301 and 500, creating a local feel. Its long history and placement on the first Sunday of Advent are key traditions. Runners in Hessen have seen this early-winter fixture on their calendars for decades, with event pages providing start lists, results, and photos.

About 5K races in Frankfurt am Main
Frankfurt Training Notes
Frankfurt am Main hosts 53 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 Main when they want rhythm and skyline. The Nizza-Ufer route gives you about 2 km along the river, while the Palmengarten route gives you about 3 km for easy laps. The Palmengarten route gives you about 3 km for easy laps, and the Stadtwald route runs 6 to 8 km from the parking lot on Forsthausstraße. The Stadtwald feels better for Z2 because the paths are wider and the crowds thin out. Running Club Frankfurt meets weekly at Literaturhaus Frankfurt. PB Running Club Frankfurt runs about 10 km on Wednesday and Saturday. Spiridon Frankfurt handles proper track work. P. Morgan Corporate Challenge, and IRONMAN NightRun Frankfurt are the anchor events.
Locals ride out fast because Frankfurt gives you options right at the door. Der Frankfurter Gravel Club treats the Stadtwald as the natural gravel start, with broad forest roads, gentle bends, and long straights. The Odenwald sits south for longer rolling days, and the Spessart sits east with quieter roads and more room. The Rheingau wine region opens west for gran fondo mood, vineyards, forest, and cyclocross terrain. Radtreffs roll Tuesday at 17:30 from Heerstraße and keep the week moving with Veloon, Gelato Offenbach, and IG: oberurseler_rennradtreff. Tuesday Night Gravel starts at 18:15. Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt, Ironman Germany, Giro di Schotter, and Eintracht-Radsporttag anchor the calendar.
September and October are the best months because the air settles and base miles feel easy. Summer puts the Main riverbanks in full social mode, so locals use early starts, the Nidda, or the Stadtwald when intervals need space. The warm season still works well for after-work rides like GELATO X MAAP - THURSDAY SPRITZTOUR when temps hit 5°C. Winter stays mostly mild, but frequent rain showers and overcast skies change the setup. The temperature falls below 0°C on about 64 days annually, and snow cover usually lasts only 10 to 20 days per year. Locals keep riding Z2, swap to wider tires, and run the forest when the river feels busy or wet.
