Erfurt

Erfurt's running scene centers on flat, fast courses through the city and surrounding Gera Valley—the Abendlaufserie Finale and Geraauelauf exploit the region's minimal elevation, with the latter pushing 21km along the river valley. Cyclists treat Erfurt as a launch point for the Thüringer Wald hills 20km south (Schwarzatal climbing routes hit 400m+), while the rolling farmland north toward the Harz offers steady gravel and road training. The 24h OCR-Round The Clock Race draws obstacle athletes to the region each year.
