It focuses on short, accessible races, offering options for young children, school-age runners, teenagers, casual joggers, and more competitive adults.

The Kuppinger Mondfängerlauf is an evening running event in Kuppingen, a district of Herrenberg in Baden-Württemberg. It starts at 7:00 PM from the Gemeindehalle on Raiffeisenstraße and offers adult runners a choice of 6.7 km or 10 km. The race is part of the Schönbuch Cup, where it serves as one of the scoring rounds in the regional running series around the Böblingen area. The route is a rolling multi-loop course, with about 70 meters of climbing and the same amount of descent, so it is not flat but still compact and repeatable. Start and finish are both at the Gemeindehalle, which also serves as the event base. The field is roughly 760 runners, and the program includes children’s and youth races alongside the adult races. TSV Merklingen 1901 e.V. organizes the event.

The Salacher Löwenlauf is a running and Nordic walking event held in Salach, Germany, with all races concluding on Baumgartenstraße, close to the Stauferlandhalle.

The course is characterized as rolling, not a flat sprint, but remains accessible for novice runners and walkers who prefer not to commit to a longer distance. The event includes options for younger participants: a 500-meter Bambini-Löwenlauf for children and a 2K Jugend-Löwenlauf for youth. For adults, the 6K TSG-Fitnesslauf serves as a more accessible choice, whereas the 10K Löwenlauf is intended for runners seeking a greater challenge. The Stauferland name is featured in the Nordic walking race, connecting the event to the local area, and TSG Salach is involved in its organization.

The route is relatively flat with no significant elevation changes, allowing for consistent pacing. Recent years have seen increasing participation, with one reported race growing from just over 200 to more than 400 runners, and national-level athletes have achieved fast winning times.

The Nussdorflauf attracts over 1,500 finishers to Nussdorf in late November, ranking it among the larger running events in its region. This community race day features five distinct competitions, meaning the participants are not solely adults running the same distance. The event has been held for over sixteen editions and attracts runners from the surrounding area. The course is located in Nussdorf, with spectators lining the route, particularly for the children’s races. Hanfbachschule Möglingen sends a large contingent, with over 50 students accompanied by parents and teachers. Pupils compete in different age categories, teachers either run or support, and the day begins with a group warm-up before the younger runners start, under the school motto “Gemeinsam stark!”

The Stadtwerke Night Run is a late-season running event centered on headlamps, lights, and the approach to Christmas. Participants run an illuminated course after dark, with race options from shorter youth events to 5 km and 10 km distances. The schedule features the Stadtwerke Glowworm Run for the youngest children, Kreissparkasse student races, the Wohnstätten 5 km, and the Stadtwerke 10 km. Following the races, participants convene in a Winter Village with bonfires, giving the event a distinct end-of-season atmosphere instead of merely another road race.

The Barbarossa Berglauf is a trail and mountain running event in Göppingen, Germany, scheduled for late November. Participants can select from 5 km, 10 km, or 21 km distances. The primary ascent directs runners up Hohenstaufen, the local mountain overlooking the Filstal valley. The half marathon serves as the day's main event, also available as a relay. A 5 km fitness run offers a shorter route for those less accustomed to mountain terrain. The event's name originates from Emperor Barbarossa, whose ancestral castle was situated on Hohenstaufen. This historical connection is reflected in the race's terminology, with the half marathon humorously referred to as the “Emperor’s discipline” instead of the typical “queen event.” The program also features races for schoolchildren and toddlers, extending the participant pool beyond dedicated trail runners. The mountain setting and the vistas across the Filstal attract both spectators and runners from beyond Göppingen.

Series entry is handled through the organizer, with full-series registration linked to the first race.

Its designation as the 38th DJK Winterlaufserie marks it as an established local fixture.
