Recurring 5K races near Koblenz

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Bad Homburger Kurparklauf
SUN OCT 11
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.
Winterlaufserie Marienfeld
SAT OCT 24
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.
Halloween-Run Köln
SAT OCT 31
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
SAT NOV 7
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.
39. Refrather Herbstlauf
SUN NOV 8
The Refrather Herbstlauf is an autumn running event held in the Königsforst, a large forest area near Bergisch Gladbach-Refrath, close to Cologne. It has been held annually since 1986, featuring standard road-race distances, particularly 5 km and 10 km. The start and finish line are located at the Schutzhütte “Am dicken Stock.” Participants can access the venue by car via Rather Weg or by taking the KVB line 1 to Refrath. The 5 km and 10 km courses are measured out-and-back routes, officially certified by the DLV, allowing for times to be recognized on German ranking lists. The event attracts runners from clubs, local athletes from TV Refrath, participants in championship races, and regular Volkslauf competitors aiming to achieve their season-ending objectives. The 5 km race has also served as a venue for LVN championship competitions. The 10 km record holders include Christa Vahlensiek (34:25) and Wolf-Dieter Poschmann (29:44). Recent results indicate competitive times, with sub-16-minute finishes in the 5 km and a 10 km victory by Felix Weber, Germany’s 24-hour record holder.
Refrather Herbstlauf
SUN NOV 8
The Refrather Herbstlauf is a flat autumn road race held in Bergisch Gladbach-Refrath, Germany, concluding on Rather Weg. Participants can select between 5 km and 10 km distances. The 5 km race is open to participants aged 10 and older, while the 10 km race requires participants to be at least 12 years old. This event has been held annually since 1986 and is organized by TV Refrath Laufbewerbe. Both primary races feature flat out-and-back courses, presenting a direct run rather than a challenging Bergisches Land terrain. The 5 km course includes approximately 10 meters of elevation gain, and the 10 km course has about 20 meters of elevation gain. The event also includes children's and youth races. Results, start lists, photos, and reports are published for participants seeking post-race records.
57. Winterlaufserie der SG Bockenberg 26/27, 1. Lauf
SAT NOV 21
SG Bockenberg's Winterlaufserie is a winter running series organized by the club, with the first race opening the current edition. Runners can choose between a short course and a long course; the programme also includes a 25 km race. The available source does not give a detailed route. Results, photos, and certificates are published after the races. Previous series winners include Kai Willems and Lea van Elten on the short course and Max Kreitner and Nathalie Hahn on the long course.
Winterlaufserie Bergisch Gladbach
SAT NOV 21
The Winterlaufserie Bergisch Gladbach is a winter road-running series in Bergisch Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, organized by Sportgemeinschaft Bockenberg. It begins near the Milchborntal stadium on Hardtweg, offering two primary routes: a 5.2 km short course and a 7.8 km long course. The shorter race starts in the afternoon, with the longer race following soon after, maintaining a compact, local feel rather than a full-day event. The series has been held since 1970 and is part of the Winterlaufserie of SG Bockenberg 1965 e.V. Separate races are held for children and school-age runners, while adults and youth can participate in individual runs or the entire series. Registration is handled through the organizer's website, fees are reasonable, and participants receive start lists, rankings, photos, and reports afterward. While reviews are few, they consistently praise the organization.
Glühweinlauf Marienhagen
SAT NOV 28
The Glühweinlauf Marienhagen takes place in late November in Marienhagen, organized by VfR Marienhagen Breitensport. The field is capped and busy: 1,500 participants are registered, and the event is full, with no on-site entries. The program begins with children’s races, including the 370-meter Glühwürmchenlauf for the youngest runners, followed by 1 km and 1.7 km school races for older boys and girls. The adult sport events are centered on a 7.3 km route for walkers and Nordic walkers. Nordic walkers start with poles, walkers start without them, and each group receives its own award ceremony. The schedule keeps the children’s races early and the walking events around midday, making the day feel more like a local sports gathering than a single-start road race.
Winterlaufserie Mörfelden
SUN NOV 29
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.
Mondorfer Weihnachtslauf Niederkassel
SUN NOV 29
The Mondorfer Weihnachtslauf Niederkassel is a Christmas-season running event in Mondorf, held on the first Sunday of Advent alongside the local Christmas market. It offers more than a main road race: runners, walkers, and Nordic walkers all get their own distances, and the program starts with children before moving into the adult events. The opening races follow the motto “Kids run for kids,” with Bambini from age three running 200 meters and school-age children and teenagers running 1,200 meters. After that come 5 kilometer events for runners, walkers, and Nordic walkers, each with separate timing, plus a 10 kilometer race for those who want the longer option. With more than thirty editions behind it, the event feels like a local Advent tradition rather than just a standard winter 5k.
Winterlaufserie Mörfelden - 2. Winterlauf
SUN DEC 6
The 2. Winterlauf is a 5 km road race in Mörfelden-Walldorf, Germany, part of the Winterlaufserie Mörfelden. It begins at 09:00 on Rüsselsheimer Strasse, near the Waldstadion. The series dates to 1977, establishing it as a long-running local winter running event. The course is a 5 km road run, with Nordic walking also offered. SKV 1879 Mörfelden Laufbewerbe organizes the event, maintaining practical records like start lists, results, photos, and past-year outcomes. Following a recent series, the club hosted a small closing ceremony, presenting gifts to longtime participants and supporters, highlighting the event's local, club-based character.

About 5K races in Koblenz

Koblenz Training Ground

Koblenz hosts 57 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 where the Rhine and Moselle give easy rhythm, then they climb into the Stadtwald when Z2 needs bite. The Rheinanlagen, Park am Deutschen Eck, Schlosspark, Festungspark, and Lützeler Volkspark keep weekday runs simple from the city centre. The Stadtwald Koblenz brings forest paths, mountain-bike trails, and the Rhein-Burgen-Weg around Kühkopf and Wildpark Remstecken. The Rhein-Burgen-Weg runs 61 km and gains 191 m, so your thighs know the work. TuS Koblenz, FC Rot-Weiß Koblenz, and RSG Koblenz sit inside a proper club town. B2Run Koblenz, Hospizlauf Koblenz-Trier, and Koblenz Halbmarathon are the anchor events.

Locals ride the Moselle when they want flat laps, base miles, and clean intervals over bridges. The Moselle cycling route starts and ends in Koblenz, and the full line runs about 300 km between Koblenz and Metz. The Eifel, the Hunsrück, and the Westerwald hold the demanding climbs, so gran fondo legs get built outside town. The Stadtwald adds gravel, forest paths, singletrack feel, and cyclocross weather when the surface turns heavy. Boppard Bike Park brings ramps, wallrides, northshores, dirtlines, a 3 m ramp, and freeride park action over 250 m high. Bad Ems adds another bike park, and CANYON-Rhein-Hundsrück-Bike-Marathon is the anchor race.

June, July, September, and October are the best months because Koblenz gives both river speed and hill work without making every session complicated. Summer puts runners into Rheinanlagen loops, Stadtwald shade, and longer trail days around Kühkopf and Remstecken. Summer puts riders on Moselle laps, Rhein-Burgen-Weg sections, and Boppard sessions when action matters more than tidy cadence. Winter changes the bike side first because the bike park in Boppard is closed. Runners keep using the parks, Festungspark, and Stadtwald, while cyclists lean harder on flat Moselle Z2, forest paths, and the low mountain ranges when the day allows.
