VSB Dresdner Nachtlauf 2026

The VSB Dresdner Nachtlauf is a Friday-evening street run in Dresden, Germany, offering 6.2 km and 11.5 km options for adults. Participants start in the evening, with the race program beginning at 8:00 PM. The event focuses on running through the blue hour, distinct from a typical daytime city race. The course is a flat, single-lap loop illuminated for nighttime running, providing views of the Dresden skyline. All races conclude on Wilsdruffer Strasse. The event includes races for all ages, from a 400 m Bambinilauf and a 1.8 km children’s race to age categories determined by birth year. A notable aspect is the on-course atmosphere, where torches and glow sticks create a moving line of light through the city.
