Recurring 5K races near Pforzheim
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
DJK-Lauf Ludwigsburg
The DJK-Lauf Ludwigsburg is a local road race in Ludwigsburg, Baden-Wurttemberg, taking place in October and organized by SG DJK Ludwigsburg e.V. It focuses on short, accessible races, offering options for young children, school-age runners, teenagers, casual joggers, and more competitive adults.
The youngest participants receive a free Bambini race of approximately 500 metres. Older children have their own short races, such as the Theo-Lauf and a distance for school-age runners that includes medals. Adults and older youth can select a quick 5 km circuit or a 10 km race covering two laps. The course is flat and paved, making it suitable for runners seeking a consistent surface and a simple pacing strategy for the longer distances.
30. Heckengäu-Volkslauf 2026
The Heckengäu-Volkslauf is an annual public running event in Wiernsheim, based at Lindenhalle Wiernsheim. It is part of the regular event calendar of SFG-Serres, a local club that also organizes village and club gatherings such as Kinderfasching, Vatertags-Hocketse, and the Wiernsheim street festival.
The available source does not provide a course map or confirmed race distances. Its context within German running calendars is relevant: these events are connected to the wider club-run road-racing system, where volunteers, state athletics associations, timing standards, safety rules, and official results infrastructure support grassroots races.
La surbourgeoise
La Surbourgeoise sends a pink wave through the streets of Surbourg, a village in the Bas-Rhin area of Grand Est in eastern France. It is a short, 5 km town road event held in early October, with both running and walking options. The main race starts in the morning and is untimed, so there is no ranking pressure.
The route is a single 5 km loop inside the village, which keeps the day compact and easy for supporters to follow. Runners and walkers of different levels line up together, and the event is tied to the Course Rose against breast cancer. Proceeds go to Coeur des Sables, and the Club Vosgien organizes the day as a community sports animation rather than a conventional competitive race.
La strasbourgeoise
La Strasbourgeoise is a pink-shirt charity event in Strasbourg, featuring a women-only 5 km road run and a mixed 5 km walk or Nordic walk over the same distance. It is part of Octobre Rose, the French breast-cancer awareness campaign, and has drawn Strasbourg’s largest group of female participants since 2010.
The route passes through the center of Strasbourg, making the day feel more like a city gathering than a sports event. Costumes are permitted, contributing to the event's wave-of-pink appearance. The run is for women and requires either a health prevention course or an FFA license, while the walk is mixed and does not require a medical certificate. Both are open to participants born in 2012 or earlier, with younger children allowed on the walk if accompanied by a registered parent.
Barbarossalauf Erlenbach
Barbarossalauf Erlenbach is a road running event in Erlenbach am Main, Bavaria, starting at Saint-Maurice-Platz near Elsenfelder Strasse. It typically takes place in October, beginning in the afternoon, and features several distances: a half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, 2.5 km, and 1 km.
The event has been held annually since 2007, organized by Barbarossalauf Erlenbach a. Main e.V. The shorter distances and the children’s or school run cater to local runners and families. The half marathon, a recent addition, provides a longer road-race option. Registration is available via the organizer’s website.
EnergieSüdwest - Offenbach an der Queich
The EnergieSüdwest - Offenbach an der Queich is a road-running event held in the morning in Offenbach an der Queich, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is part of the EnergieSüdwest Cup and functions as the cup final. The event features 10 km and 5 km races, a children’s or student run, a Bambini run, and 5 km walking.
TV Offenbach Laufbewerbe has organized the race since 1970. Local clubs and associations from Landau, Offenbach, Göcklingen, Birkweiler, Albersweiler, Siebeldingen, and surrounding villages may enter teams. The club competition offers an incentive: if at least 10 members finish, the club receives 15 euros per runner, capped at 25 runners. Participation is not restricted to sports clubs; groups like support associations or Landfrauen clubs are also welcome. Registration is managed via Runtix, with late entries accepted at the Turn- und Festhalle just before the start, where awards are presented afterward.
Les courses de Brumath
The Brumath races are charity events held in Brumath, Alsace, each October. The program offers a 10 km race, distinct 5 km races for men and women, a mixed 5 km walk, and youth races. This setup accommodates runners, walkers, families, and local club athletes.
The El Himer Running team and volunteers organize this event, a continuation of the earlier Courses de Brumath. The prior edition saw nearly 2,000 participants. Funds raised support several causes: prostate cancer patients, breast cancer support, Charcot disease, Parkinson’s support, Coeur des Sables, and the Unitas Brumath athletics school. The event also provides entertainment, physiotherapy and osteopathy services, refreshments, participant gifts, a bar, and food.
Bottwartal Marathon
The Bottwartal Marathon is a running weekend held in mid-October in Baden-Wurttemberg's Bottwartal region. It began as a marathon but now includes multiple races. Initially featuring a marathon and a 10K, the event expanded to offer a half marathon, walking events, and a Run & Fun Day for children and students. The organization relies on local club support, with eight clubs from Beilstein, Gronau, Grossbottwar, Murr, Kleinbottwar, Oberstenfeld, Steinheim, and Winzerhausen collaborating through an ORGA team, each club managing its segment.
Werner Neumann of Oberstenfeld initiated the race to unite several Bottwartal clubs for a significant running event. The original start and finish were at the Bottwartalkellerei in Grossbottwar, enabling a course with northern and southern loops for the marathon and half marathon. The event later relocated to Steinheim, the "Urmenschenstadt," due to organizational and logistical considerations, with Gerhard Petermann succeeding Neumann as leader. The race has received the most popular marathon medal award six times and is one of Baden-Wurttemberg's largest running events.
40. Oberwaldlauf
The Oberwaldlauf is a 5 km and 10 km race held annually in the Oberwald forest in Karlsruhe, taking place on the third Saturday of October. The start and finish are located at the TuS Rüppurr club grounds on Steinmannstraße. The 10 km race begins first, followed shortly by the 5 km run and 5 km walk. The event is sanctioned by the German Athletics Association, and both running courses are officially measured, allowing results to be included in German ranking lists.
The route consists of a loop on asphalt and maintained forest paths, offering a more controlled environment than a rugged trail race while keeping participants within the Oberwald. The 10 km race is open to older youth and adults, the 5 km run includes younger age groups, and the walking option accommodates families and casual participants. TuS Rüppurr organizes the event with a club atmosphere: water, tea, and bananas are available at the finish, with waffles, cake, fries, and bratwurst offered around the grounds, and a bouncy castle for children. Course records stand at 29:07 and 35:45 for the 10 km, and 14:53 and 16:38 for the 5 km.
Pfettrachtaler Lauf
The Pfettrachtaler Lauf begins at the SC Pfettrach sports field in Altdorf, Bavaria, offering runners several road-race options on the same day. The primary distances are a 21.1 km half marathon, a 10 km run, and a 5 km run. Shorter races are available for children and students over 2 km, 800 m, and 400 m. The event typically takes place in autumn and has been held annually since 2002. Organized by SC Pfettrach, it maintains the feel of a local club event rather than a large city race.
The program extends beyond standard running events. Nordic walking is included, and inline skating is part of the event listing. Recent editions have also featured 23 km mountain bike and e-mountain bike races on an MTB trail. The youngest participants have their own Bambini race, while older school-age runners compete in separate student distances before the longer adult races commence. Local businesses and AOK Bayern provide support, reinforcing the event's connection to the Pfettrach and Landshut areas.
Bietlauf Mühlhausen
Bietlauf Mühlhausen is a road-running event in Tiefenbronn, Baden-Württemberg, starting from Lehninger Str. The program centers on an 11.5 km main run, with shorter options: a 5 km leisure run, a 5 km walking or Nordic Walking event, and a 1.15 km run for children and school pupils. It is typically held in autumn, often around October, with a morning start at 10:00.
The course information is straightforward. The event caters to local runners, walkers, families, and school-age children, not exclusively competitive club athletes. Registration is via the organizer’s website, which also provides access to start lists, results, photos, and reports. One review highlights the atmosphere as its strongest aspect, with good scores for the course and value, while organization received lower marks.

About 5K races in Pforzheim
Pforzheim Training Notes
Pforzheim hosts 71 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Pforzheim gives runners a good Goldstadt mix, with the Enz, Nagold, and Würm keeping routes close to town and the Black Forest edge never far away. Locals use Enzauenpark for easy laps, base miles, and quick intervals before work. LC80 Pforzheim keeps the race calendar visible, including Citylauf Pforzheim on 27.06.2025. The SWP-CityLauf Pforzheim brings the road crowd, with the SWP Hauptlauf, PZ FunRun, Reha-Zentrum HESS-ParkRun, Schülerläufe, and Kidsläufe. Sparkassen Cross Pforzheim gives the city its proper cross anchor.
Pforzheim gives riders 1,483 routes, so locals can pick Z2, a sharp MTB hit, or a long gran fondo day without making it complicated. Z2 runs 3 km and climbs 523 m. Pforzheim - Konstanz stretches 205 km and stacks 2,681 m of ascent. The climbs sit north and east in the hilly Kraichgau, and south and west on the northern rim of the eastern Black Forest. Rund um die Goldstadt is the anchor name.
May and July suit Pforzheim best, especially for cycling, because the popular routes fill up and the longer days make base miles easy. Summer riders lean into Quick tour mit Scala 1, Relax route Pforzheim mit beste backerei stop, and the bigger Pforzheim - Dornstetten days. Summer runners keep Enzauenpark steady and use the city races for tempo checks. November changes the mood when Sparkassen Cross Pforzheim lands. Winter runners get asphalt paths and forest floors, while riders keep the shorter loops honest and save the big Black Forest climbing for clearer days.
