14. Burgdorfer Spargel-Lauf 2026

The Burgdorfer Spargel-Lauf begins and ends at the Auebrücke on Poststraße, in Burgdorf during the Oktobermarkt city festival. It takes place annually on the festival’s second day, offering short, practical distances: 2.5 km, 5 km, and 10 km for runners, and a 5 km option for Nordic walkers. Children have their own 660 m race, run as two 330 m laps, before the main field starts later in the afternoon. The route departs the Auebrücke, proceeding through town streets including Poststraße, Schlossstraße, and Mühlenstraße, then follows the Aue and passes through the castle park and city park. It is intended for recreational runners and club athletes alike; entry is open to all, with no sports club membership required. The VVV of Burgdorf organizes the race with assistance from eichels GmbH, supported by local sponsors such as Hannoversche Volksbank, Lehmann Mörtel-, Sand- und Kieswerke, and AOK. Registration typically opens in summer, with late entries accepted at the start and finish area on race day. The modest entry fees align with the event’s local festival atmosphere.
