13. Crossmeisterschaft SC Magdeburg

The Crossmeisterschaft SC Magdeburg is a cross-country running competition associated with SC Magdeburg and the city of Magdeburg in Sachsen-Anhalt. It is listed in the German athletics calendar as a championship-style cross event. The fundamental concept is simple: runners compete off the track, in a format more akin to club and association events than a large city road race. The event is listed on LADV among athletics competitions and is also featured in the laufen.de race calendar, which includes events registered with the German Athletics Association and its state associations. This provides a more formal structure than a casual fun run, with entries, rules, timing, and event standards managed within the DLV system, supported by the volunteer-driven club and association culture central to much of German running.
