Recurring 10K races near Hildesheim
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Benther-Berg-Lauf
The Benther-Berg-Lauf is a local running series in Ronnenberg-Benthe, Lower Saxony, held each October and organized by VSV Benthe 1910 e.V. The longest race is a 21.8 km run, similar to a half-marathon, alongside a 10 km main run and a 10 km walking option for adults. Shorter races accommodate newer and younger runners: a 3.6 km Schnupperlauf, a 1.8 km children's race for kids up to 10, and a 550 m Bambini run for kids up to 7.
The races follow a rolling course around Benthe, with all finishes at the VSV Benthe sports ground on Am Hammfeld. The event is part of the CupLaufpass der Region Hannover, attracting local club runners, families, and casual participants. The program features low entry fees, online registration, late entries just before the start, and separate youth scoring in the taster run.
Brockenheroes
Brockenheroes begins in Schierke, a village in Saxony-Anhalt within Germany’s Harz mountains. It directs runners, walkers, road cyclists, mountain bikers, and MTBO riders uphill toward the Brocken. The event centers on mountain time trials and mountain runs, with participants beginning individually at 30-second intervals rather than starting together. It typically commences in the morning, offering a cold-air, steep-climb atmosphere typical of autumn mountain races, culminating on the Harz’s highest summit.
The start is located at Schierke’s lowest point, with all races concluding on the Brocken, making the primary objective straightforward: ascend. Available distances include 5k, 6.5k, 10k, and 11.2k options, alongside road cycling, mountain biking, a 24k road ride, Nordic walking, hiking, trail running, cross-country running, and team entries. The ascent totals approximately 500 meters on the primary uphill course. Pro Sport im Harz e.V. manages the series, initiated in 2021, welcoming hobby, recreational, and amateur athletes, with licensed and professional riders competing separately. Some events permit participants from age 10, while others require a minimum age of 14. During severe weather, organizers have referred to finishers as “Sturmbrockenheroes,” reflecting the event’s character: a blend of competition and a test of endurance against a mountain where weather presents a significant challenge.
Herbstlauf Ovenhausen
Herbstlauf Ovenhausen is an autumn road race in Höxter-Ovenhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia. Races typically start in the afternoon from Hauptstrasse 82. TuS Ovenhausen 1924 e.V. organizes the event, which offers distances from short children’s races up to 20.8 km. The schedule also includes 10 km, 4.5 km, 1 km, and 400 m runs, plus a 4.5 km walk. It is part of the Hochstift-Cup and attracts a few hundred participants, not a large city crowd.
The race has taken place since 1978, giving it the feel of a long-standing local club event with a comprehensive family program, not just a single main distance. The youngest children compete in a 400 m race. Age groups U8 to U16 have 1000 m options. The 4.5 km and 10 km races are open to all, while the 20.8 km race is for U20 and older. The event also hosts the Höxter district forest running championships: club runners from the district are automatically entered into these championships for the 4.5 km race (U14/U16) and the 10 km race (U18 and older). Kilometer markers and aid stations are available on the course. Changing rooms, showers, parking, refreshments at the finish, certificates, and finisher medals for children are provided, typical of a smaller race.
14. Burgdorfer Spargel-Lauf
The Burgdorfer Spargel-Lauf begins and ends at the Auebrücke on Poststraße, in Burgdorf during the Oktobermarkt city festival. It takes place annually on the festival’s second day, offering short, practical distances: 2.5 km, 5 km, and 10 km for runners, and a 5 km option for Nordic walkers. Children have their own 660 m race, run as two 330 m laps, before the main field starts later in the afternoon.
The route departs the Auebrücke, proceeding through town streets including Poststraße, Schlossstraße, and Mühlenstraße, then follows the Aue and passes through the castle park and city park. It is intended for recreational runners and club athletes alike; entry is open to all, with no sports club membership required. The VVV of Burgdorf organizes the race with assistance from eichels GmbH, supported by local sponsors such as Hannoversche Volksbank, Lehmann Mörtel-, Sand- und Kieswerke, and AOK. Registration typically opens in summer, with late entries accepted at the start and finish area on race day. The modest entry fees align with the event’s local festival atmosphere.
Le marathon du Brocken
Le marathon du Brocken is a mountain trail race held in Schierke, a village in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, bordering the Harz National Park. Taking place in early October, it provides 10 km, 26 km, and 39 km distances, allowing participants to select a route from a shorter forest trail to a demanding mountain run. The race, established in 1978, centers on a single objective: ascending the Brocken, the highest peak in the Harz.
The course follows winding trails through the national park’s forests, with the longer distances guiding runners towards open vistas near the summit. It is suited for trail runners seeking climbs, varied terrain, and a more natural environment than a road marathon. The Brocken summit defines the event; participants are not merely running a distance but ascending a renowned peak in a cherished German upland area.
Hannover Halbmarathon H/21
The Hannover Halbmarathon H/21 begins and concludes at the Schillerdenkmal in the city center, directly connecting the race to Hannover’s downtown streets from the start. This 21.0975 km half marathon begins in the late morning, with Nordic walkers starting later. It is a popular event in Hannover, requiring participants to be at least 16 years old.
The route circles through Hannover’s neighborhoods, such as Linden and Nordstadt, passing through green areas and active urban sections. The entire course is marked and secured, featuring aid stations along the way and at the finish line. Results are recorded using net chip timing, and a permanent ranking list allows returning runners to track their progress over the years. The race operates under the supervision of the Niedersächsischer Leichtathletik Verband, with bag drop and changing facilities available on Friedrichswall near Aegidientorplatz.
57. Birkhahnlauf
The Birkhahnlauf is a long-standing forest race in Schneeren, a district of Neustadt am Rübenberge, Germany, scheduled for the Sunday of the final October weekend. Starting and ending at Engelkenberg, it has been held for over 50 years. The event maintains a local, practical character, offering distinct distances for children, youth, women, and men, ranging from 500 metres to 10.2 km. The adult races cover 5.1 km and 10.2 km, while younger participants can select shorter options at 0.5 km, 1.0 km, or 2.3 km, tailored to their age groups.
The courses primarily traverse pine forests via paved forest and farm tracks, incorporating minor sandy stretches and avoiding significant ascents. The children's races utilize a compact cross-country loop through woods and along paths. Each child finisher is awarded a certificate, and the top three receive medals. The longer courses are marked with kilometre signs, beneficial for participants aiming to set a pace on the level terrain. Online registration is preferred, though late entries are accepted near race day, with modest entry fees differentiated for adults and children.
Braunschweiger Lauftage Braunschweig Running Days
Braunschweiger Lauftage takes place in late October in Braunschweig, offering three standard distances: 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers, and a half marathon. The event is designed around the city and its parks, deviating from a typical out-and-back road course. The paths are surfaced with asphalt or packed gravel.
The 5K route proceeds directly into the Bürgerpark from the start. The 10K follows the shoreline of the Braunschweiger Südsee. The half marathon incorporates more of the city, guiding participants past local landmarks and through parks before returning to the city center. Participants have access to essential amenities, including food service, changing facilities, showers, restrooms, finisher shirts, and medals.
Braunschweiger Lauftage
Braunschweiger Lauftage is a road race held in late October in Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, with starts scheduled for 9:30 AM. Participants can select from 5 km, 10 km, or a half marathon, the latter being the most frequently chosen distance. A 500 m children's run is also offered, accommodating both adult race distances and a short option for younger participants.
The races take place within the city, not in the countryside, with the event themed around Braunschweig's monuments and the slogan “Discover Lower Saxony.” The organizer is ssportTREND Braunschweig, located on Güldenstraße in the city. Course details indicate one-loop routes for the 5 km, 10 km, and half marathon, with the appeal stemming from running through Braunschweig and viewing its historic architecture.
35. Ricklinger Volkslauf
The Ricklinger Volkslauf is a local race day in Hannover-Ricklingen, organized by TuS Ricklingen. It features flat adult races of approximately 5.5 to 5.7 km, a walking and Nordic walking option over the same distance, and a 10 km main run named the Lothar-Mayer-Lauf.
All races conclude at Meisenwinkel 9 in Hannover-Ricklingen. The schedule is divided by distance and age group, including adult running and walking events, a 400 m Bambini run for very young children, and a 1 km Schülerlauf for schoolchildren. This structure allows families and club runners to participate in the same event without being grouped together.
Winterserie Post SV Lehrte
The Winterserie Post SV Lehrte is a cold-season running and walking series held at the Post SV club house in Lehrte. Participants select a group that suits them from several options: 5 km, 10 km, or a longer run, with a separate 5 km option for walkers. This format is suitable for beginners, regular runners, and walkers seeking companionship over intense solo performance.
The routes incorporate public paths, paved sections, and unpaved trails surrounding Lehrte. Experienced running-group members guide participants, allowing them to follow the course without concern for navigation. The focus is on moving together, conversing during the event, and maintaining winter activity rather than achieving personal bests. Facilities including changing rooms, showers, and parking are accessible at the start area.
19. Bothfelder Waldlauf
The Bothfelder Waldlauf is a November running event in Hannover, Germany, held at BSA Hannover-Bothfeld. It is organized by TuS Bothfeld and takes place outside the stadium calendar, offering races for children, youth runners, adults, and masters.
The name translates to 'forest run,' though the listed competitions are road-running categories. It is best understood as a local running day around Bothfeld, not a single elite race. The age range is unusually broad, from U8 children up to M95 and W95 masters divisions. Past results archived on German race calendars indicate a history beyond the current edition.

Hildesheim Training Notes
Hildesheim hosts 79 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Hohnsensee when they want easy base miles and a clean loop feel. Hohnsensee running track goes along the Hohnsensee lake and on the Kalenberger Graben ditch. Hilde Run Club meets at the Trimm-dich-Pfad am Hohnsensee every Wednesday at 18:00 and regularly on Sundays at 10:00. Innerste Au running track keeps intervals simple along the river through the city. Waldquelle running route goes from Bergholzchen to Rottsberg when the legs need bite. Lange Dreisch running track goes through the nature reserve. The route is 5 km.
give riders a proper home for road, off-road, track, mountain bike, and crossrad days. Locals use the Hi-Ring for a steady lap around the city area. The Hi-Ring is 73 km, starts anywhere, and suits riders who want medium work without making a whole day of it. Strong riders take the Hi-Ring counterclockwise, and everyone else rides clockwise for long descents and short climbs. The climbs sit on that counterclockwise lap, in the Leine Uplands, and toward Seesen on the edge of the Harz Mountains. GTF Kanalromantik, RTF Nordschleife, and Gravelride Sole und Erz work as anchor rides.
May and June feel like proper build months because Adlumer Abendlauf lands on 2026-05-23, Never Give Up Hindernislauf lands on 2026-06-20, and Finienlauf lands on 2026-06-26. August keeps the city sharp because the Hildesheimer Firmenlauf lands on 2026-08-28. Summer runners stay around Hohnsensee, the Innerste river, and the nature reserve for Z2, intervals, and social miles. Summer riders stretch the legs on the Cycle path to art, Ambergau Cycle Path, Leine-Heide cycle path, and Innerste Cycle Path. Winter changes the mood, and the Haseder Silvesterlauf on 2026-12-31 gives runners a clean year-end anchor. Winter cyclists lean into steady base miles, cyclocross, and off-road work with the club crowd.
