Jiříkovská půlka is a running race in Jiříkov, a border town in the Šluknov Hook near Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland and the Elbe Sandstones. It is presented as a race for ordinary runners as much as fast ones, with terrain that people can handle regardless of pace. The event is prepared by runners, which is evident in the practical setup: the route is built so competitors meet their supporters several times instead of disappearing into the countryside for one long stretch. The course goes past ponds, through forest, and across fields around Jiříkov, changing often without becoming a technical mountain race. The atmosphere is small and personal: organizers know runners, runners know each other, and many people come simply to enjoy the day. The backing comes from locals together with SAK Rumburk and BK Varnsdorf, a group linked by running and also involved in other local races. One edition had about 200 people registered online in advance, including more than 40 children, with entrants from the region, farther away, and abroad.

The Marathon de Dresde is a road race held in Dresden, Saxony, on a Sunday in late October. The event offers various distances, from short city runs to 10 km, a half marathon, and a full marathon, alongside relay options and children’s and junior races. This variety caters to families, casual runners, club members, and dedicated marathoners. The course follows Dresden’s city streets, passing significant sites such as the Frauenkirche, the Zwinger, and the Semperoper. The route includes some elevation changes, with the marathon featuring 139 metres of gain and the half marathon 113 metres. The event is designed around the city’s historic monuments, highlighting Dresden’s cultural heritage rather than an out-of-town course.

The Friedenslichtlauf is a December running event from Mainaschaff to Klingenberg/Trennfurt in Germany. Runners can choose several distances, from a short 4 km option up to 8.9 km, 13.9 km, a half marathon, and a 33.9 km long run, suiting beginners, regular club runners, and those seeking a challenge. The race supports a charity purpose. Entry fees and donations go to the outpatient children’s and youth hospice service in the Miltenberg/Kleinheubach area. The organizers present the day as a symbol of peace, solidarity, and compassion. It has reached at least its tenth edition, with runners, helpers, partners, donors, and local supporters all considered part of the collective effort.
