Recurring 5K races near Krefeld

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

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.

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.

Kreis Waldlaufmeisterschaften Bochum

The Kreis Waldlaufmeisterschaften Bochum is a cross-country running event held in Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia, beginning at Weitmarer Holz. Typically scheduled for October, it starts in the early afternoon around 13:15. The event features a range of race distances: 9.7 km, 4.8 km, 2.5 km, 1.6 km, and 1.3 km. The championship caters to local forest running, with shorter distances suitable for younger participants, club members, and adults seeking a cross-country race without a significant distance commitment. Registration is available via the organizer's website, which also hosts start lists, results, photos, and reports. Limited reviews suggest a modest event, with one participant rating the atmosphere above the course's appeal, indicating a local race-day feel might be prioritized over a spectacular route.

Pro Kids Lauf Emmerich

TV Sportfreunde Elten's run offers a chance for families to get active together. Children can run at Eugen-Reintjes-Stadion. The Pro Kids Lauf Emmerich has been a tradition since 2011.

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.

ASML Marathon Eindhoven

The ASML Marathon Eindhoven takes place over two days on the second weekend of October. It stands as North Brabant's largest two-day sports event, featuring a full marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon, City Run, Kids Run, Urban Walk, and Your Marathon Challenge. The half marathon attracts the most runners, and the main race accommodates up to 15,000 participants. The course is flat and wide, facilitating fast times, with a finish in the city center. Supporters line the route, and the event welcomes club runners, charity participants, families, and newcomers. A local tradition involves a connection with KWF's Run Against Cancer, allowing participants to fundraise for guaranteed entry spots when standard registration closes.

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.

27. Crosslauf durch das Backumer Tal

Crosslauf durch das Backumer Tal is a running event in Herten-Disteln, with all races finishing at the Sportanlage on Fritz-Erler-Str. 2a in Herten. The program includes a 2.8k relay plus adult races over 4.7k and 6.6k, with separate races for children and youth. The adult courses are flat, so the 4.7k and 6.6k options suit runners who want a short cross-country-style race without a hilly profile. The mix of relay, adult, children’s, and youth races makes it more of a local club-style race day than a single-distance event.

Cité Run Eisden

Cité Run Eisden takes place in October in Eisden-Tuinwijk, starting at Vrije Basisschool de Griffel. The schedule includes a 5 km race in the morning, followed by a 10 km race an hour later. A Kidsrun is held after midday, with children signing up via their school. The course stays within Eisden-Tuinwijk, passing notable local sites. It accommodates individual runners and workplace teams of five or six, who can enter the 5 km or 10 km races as a group using special team packages. Parking is available at Kerkplein. Organisers will give a surprise to the 50th, 100th, and 200th registrants.

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.

The Jasperloop begins at 10:00 on the last Sunday of most months, located beside Het Keelven in Someren, close to forest café De Soete Inval. This is a small Dutch trimloop, emphasizing personal fitness testing over formal championship competition. Registration opens at 9:30; non-members pay €1, and participation is limited to 100 runners. The event occurs 11 times annually, with no session in December. The structure allows participants to complete 1 to 6 laps of a 2.5 km course, offering distances from 2.5 km to 15 km. The semi-paved loop winds through the woods surrounding Het Keelven. The start is accessible from the provincial road connecting Someren, Asten, and Heeze. The event welcomes runners of all ages and experience levels, from novices to seasoned athletes, though some participants compete seriously against their own times and fellow runners. The series has progressed through hundreds of editions.

About 5K races in Krefeld

Krefeld Training Notes

Krefeld hosts 122 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals keep running simple in Krefeld. You can run 8 km when you want a clean base miles loop. You can run 8 km past the historic core and Greiffenhorstpark. Uerdingen opens the longer day, and the Rhine route reaches 17 km when the legs are ready. Hülser Berg gives the intervals some bite. CSV Marathon Krefeld keeps the club scene visible. Seidenraupen Cross, Krefelder Firmenlauf RUN & FUN, Silvesterlauf Krefeld, and Hospizlauf are the anchor events.

Locals ride the flat Lower Rhine, so nobody pretends Krefeld is alpine. Hülser Berg and Kapuzinerberg give the climbs that actually go into the legs. is the old name in town, and RCKL runs everything from easy rides to a road group. The Rennradgruppe starts at Heimatbrunnen in Krefeld-Linn on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM from April to September. The tours run about 50 km, with Espresso above 28 km/h and Cappuccino up to 24 km/h. The 8 km Krefeld Gravel-Bike-Route, Moerser Niederrheinrundfahrt, Krefeld Triathlon, and Tour Rund um Krefeld keep the calendar honest.

Spring and summer are the clean months for stacking Z2, club nights, and longer loops. April to September suits the bike best, because the RCKL road group is out on Wednesday evenings and the weather gives you room for base miles. June brings the Krefeld Triathlon rhythm into the city, and September brings the Hospizlauf from CSV Marathon Krefeld. Winter changes the shape, not the habit. Runners lean into Seidenraupen Cross, Martins-Crosslauf, and Silvesterlauf Krefeld. Road riders move part of the group onto ZWIFT from October to March, and another part trains on the track in Büttgen.
