The Geilenkirchener Volkslauf und Halbmarathon is a running event in Geilenkirchen-Gillrath, Germany, organized by DJK-Gillrath e. V. It combines a long-standing Volkslauf with a half marathon, offering options for both recreational runners and those seeking a full 21.1 km challenge. The event also features a 10 km run, 10 km walking and Nordic walking, a 4 km run, youth races of 0.8 km and 2.5 km, and a short Bambini race for the youngest participants. All races conclude at Sportplatz Gillrath, with bib collection available at the competition office on the sports field prior to the start. The half marathon course is flat, making the longer distance straightforward rather than technically demanding. The 4 km course is wheelchair accessible, and the 2.5 km and 4 km races incorporate a competition for individuals with disabilities. The half marathon and 10 km run contribute to a five-year series ranking, and most running races also feed into the RAC ranking, providing local, regular runners with motivation to return beyond a single race day.
