Leipziger Auewaldlauf 2026

The Leipziger Auewaldlauf begins at the LVB-Sportanlage on Neue Linie in Connewitzer Holz, leading runners into Leipzig’s southern Auewald. This understated November running event offers 20 km, 10 km, 5 km, and 2 km distances, catering to long-distance runners, club racers, casual participants, and children. The race has taken place annually since 1979 and is organized by the running group of SG Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe. The 10 km course is a full loop, and the 5 km course is a shorter loop; both are flat. The event is included in the Stadtrangliste Leipzig, providing local runners with an incentive to compete beyond a single performance. Participant numbers typically range from 301 to 500. The event's logistics are straightforward: public transport provides access, registration can be completed online or in person, a refreshment station is located at the finish, and results, photos, and printable certificates are available post-race.
