Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Ochsenweiherlauf Emskirchen
The Ochsenweiherlauf is a local running event in Emskirchen, Bavaria. It offers distances from a 0.5 km Bambinilauf for young children up to a 10 km Hauptlauf. TSV 1893 Emskirchen e.V. organizes the event, which is listed on the regional calendar for Neustadt/Aisch, Mittelfranken, Nordbayern. Held in October, it is a road race, emphasizing local competition over track events.
The event caters to various participants: children have the Bambini race, older students and youth compete in a 2.5 km run, casual runners and walkers can select 5 km or 7.5 km, and the main race is 10 km. Approximately 120 starters are expected for a typical edition. TSV Emskirchen is joined by clubs from nearby Bavarian towns including Herzogenaurach, Burghaslach, Ipsheim, Langenzenn, Markt Erlbach, and Scheinfeld. The organizer provides starter lists before the race and publishes results, certificates, and photos afterward, contributing to the event's distinct local club-race atmosphere.
13. Stauch Cup
The Stauch Cup is a local race series in Kupferzell, Germany, with all races starting and finishing on Jahnweg. The adult program includes a 5K Nordic walk, a 5K run, and a 10K run, all on flat courses.
The setup suits runners seeking a short, straightforward road event rather than a complicated route or hilly challenge. Children and youth races are also part of the day, so the series is for more than just adult runners and walkers.
15. Crailsheimer Sparkassenlauf (4. Lauf des 4-Jahreszeiten Laufcup 2026)
On German Unity Day, the Crailsheimer Sparkassenlauf transforms Crailsheim's city center into a race venue. The 10 km run is the primary adult distance, with shorter races available. The event features a relay, a 5 km run on a 2.5 km loop, a 4 km Nordic Walking event on a 2 km loop, 2 km and 1 km schoolchildren's races, and 400 m Bambini runs for the youngest participants. This race serves as the fourth and final stop of the 4-Seasons Running Cup, following the Hohenloher Silvesterlauf, the Obersontheimer Osterlauf, and the Burgberglauf.
The event accommodates a broad range of participants: kindergarten children, school pupils, hobby runners, professional runners, walkers, and seniors can all find a suitable distance. Spectators in the finish area can view race action on an LED screen, with camera crews on the course and event grounds transmitting live footage via a studio van. Live music, cheerleaders, and experienced announcers contribute to the town-center atmosphere surrounding the races. Cup winners are honored in Crailsheim, race winners receive prizes, and a separate draw offers a weekend with a Mercedes CLA.
41. Muswiesenlauf
The Muswiesenlauf is a public road and trail race in Rot am See-Musdorf, Hohenlohe. It takes place on Muswiese Saturday during the traditional Muswiese fair. The main distances are 10,000 meters and 5,000 meters. Additionally, there are separate student races of 500, 1,000, and 2,500 meters, along with a 5,000-meter youth run. The event caters to children, teenagers, club runners, and local adults.
The course consists of approximately half asphalt farm roads and half gravel forest paths, offering varied terrain. The race draws participants because of its connection with the Muswiese, a festival in Rot am See-Musdorf dating back to 1434. Organizers state the run is the oldest public race in the region. All participants receive a certificate, and children are given a toy car chip, a small custom that aligns with the family-oriented race schedule.
Ossis 8er-Lauf
Ossis 8er-Lauf is a cross-country running event in Schweinfurt, Bavaria, held in memory of Ossi Baunach, a former department head and trainer. It begins at 11:00 a.m. and offers runners multiple route options. The longest route is approximately 10.8 km, intended for active runners and seniors. Shorter races are available for youth and children, with the youngest participants running distances from about 400 m to 1.1 km.
The programme also features walking and Nordic walking over 5.4 km, catering to club runners, families, walkers, and older participants, not exclusively fast racers. DJK Schweinfurt and TG Schweinfurt organize the event. Registration is typically available online and in person. The participant field is modest, usually ranging between 101 and 300. The event has been held for at least 14 editions, and organizers publish results, start lists, and photos post-race.
Marktlauf Holzkirchen
The Holzkirchner Marktlauf is a market-day running event in Holzkirchen, Bavaria, held alongside the Simon-Judi-Markt. It offers a spread of distances: a 5 km team run, a 10 km race, and a 10-mile option, plus short races for toddlers, children, and teenagers.
The longer routes go out into the Holzkirchen countryside, with the 10-mile race using the Asberg loop. RSLC Holzkirchen e.V. organizes the event, and the field is capped at 1,200 runners overall, with a separate 200-runner limit for the Bergzeit 10-mile race. The event has been running for many years and feels like a local sports festival built around both serious runners and families.
Thüngersheimer Bocksbeutellauf 2026
The Thüngersheimer Bocksbeutellauf is a local running event in Thüngersheim, organized by TSV 1876 Thüngersheim e.V. It takes place in late October and features a series of races: children run 600 m and 1 km, older youth and hobby runners compete in a 2.5 km, and the main distances are 5 km and 10 km.
The schedule progresses from the youngest runners at noon to the 10 km race in the afternoon, making the event suitable for families and club runners alike. The 5 km serves as a moderate challenge, while the 10 km is the more demanding option; the 2.5 km distance offers a shorter race for younger participants and casual adult runners. This is the fourth Thüngersheimer Bocksbeutellauf.
46. Winterlaufserie Rodgau Jügesheim (1)
The Rodgau Winterlaufserie is a four-race winter running series held in Rodgau-Jügesheim, with events taking place between November and February. Organized by JSK Rodgau, the series focuses on a 10 km race starting and ending at the Maingau-Energie-Stadion near the Weichsee. The attraction is clear: a measured, record-eligible course allowing runners to compete during the colder months and build race fitness for spring.
The course is a flat loop through the Jügesheim forest, featuring well-kept paths and some asphalt stretches. Each kilometer is marked, and the course measurement adheres to DLV/IAAF guidelines, meaning times from the 10 km can be used for official record lists. This is beneficial for club runners aiming for standards or personal bests, and the format also suits individuals seeking consistent winter races without complex arrangements on event days.
Winterlaufserie Seligenstadt
Winterlaufserie Seligenstadt is a running series held in November in Seligenstadt, Hessen. It features a 10 km road race, a 5 km run, and a children’s or youth race of approximately 1 km. The races commence in the afternoon at 14:30, and the event typically attracts a few hundred participants, with fields usually ranging from 301 to 500 runners.
The 10 km is the primary event. The 5 km course can be partly slippery, contributing to a winter-series atmosphere rather than a fast summer road race. Recent results indicate a blend of swift club runners and local competitors. The men’s 10 km has been won in the mid-34-minute range, the 5 km winner finished just over 18 minutes, and runners from SSC Hanau-Rodenbach are present in the results. Registration, start lists, results, reports, and photos are managed online via the organizer’s website.
Fackellauf Gerbrunn
Fackellauf Gerbrunn is an evening running event in Gerbrunn, Germany, organized by TSV Gerbrunn’s athletics department. The name translates to torch run, with participants running through the town illuminated by numerous torches. The main program includes 10 km and 5 km races, starting at 19:00; junior races commence earlier in the afternoon, and a hobby run offers a shorter, more relaxed option for less competitive runners.
The start is located at Stefan-Krämer-Str. 22, with timing managed by race result. The event is designed for more than just those competing for top positions: spectators are also welcome, with Glühwein and bratwurst enhancing the November evening atmosphere. It is a small-town club race, not a large-scale spectacle, but the torch-lit course provides a distinct character.
46. Winterlaufserie Rodgau Jügesheim (2)
The Rodgau Winterlaufserie is a four-race winter running series in Rodgau-Jügesheim, taking place from November to February. A key attraction is a flat 10 km race, allowing runners to record official times during the colder months. The course is measured under DLV/IAAF rules and is eligible for records.
The loop begins and ends at the Maingau-Energie-Stadion near the Weichsee, crossing the Jügesheim forest on maintained paths, some of which are asphalted. Each kilometer is marked, benefiting runners aiming for a personal best and club athletes using the series to maintain fitness through winter. The organizer also offers training plans for various goal levels, indicating the series emphasizes preparation alongside the race itself.

About 5K races in Würzburg
Würzburg Training Notes
Würzburg hosts 22 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run the Main when they want easy Z2 and clean rhythm through town. Würzburg Old Town and the Ringpark work well for short loops before or after work. Steinbachtal gives the proper local option when you do not just want the Main and want a few meters in the legs. Annaschlucht and the Weinberge hinterm HBF turn a normal run into climbing practice. Espresso Running Club meets for Sunday Runs at 10 AM at Felix-Freudenberger-Platz, with different pace groups and distances. Marathon Würzburg, WVV Energie Firmenlauf Würzburg, Würzburg Lauf, WeinbergRUN, and Würzburger Residenzlauf are the anchor races.
Locals ride out of the city fast because the Main gives direction and the hills start close. Cycling Community Würzburg leaves from Parkplatz Talavera on Mainaustraße and runs three speed groups around 25, 27, and 30 km/h. The group uses 50-100 km routes and waits for everyone, so it feels social without turning soft. The loop covers 6 km and climbs 884 m. Marienberg sits west at 266 m, Nikolausberg sits south at 359 m, and the east has more climbs. RSG Frankentour, Rock the Race Würzburg, and FÜNF SEEN RUNDFAHRT give the calendar its big ride targets.
Spring through fall gives Würzburg its best training block. April brings Würzburger Residenzlauf, May brings Marathon Würzburg, and June stacks WVV Energie Firmenlauf Würzburg, RSG Frankentour, and WUE2RUN Firmenlauf Würzburg. July feels busy for both sports, with Rock the Race Würzburg, 11. Maintal Ultratrail, WeinbergRUN, and summer track sessions from Espresso Running Club. July and August are the big cycling months, so group rides and base miles feel easiest then. September keeps the legs honest with Würzburg Lauf and FÜNF SEEN RUNDFAHRT. Winter shifts runners toward Trail Thursday, and November keeps a spark with Fackellauf Gerbrunn. Cycling loses that July-August peak, but the Main still keeps Z2 honest.
