The Hahner Kitzenhauslauf begins and ends at the FC Inde Hahn sports ground in Aachen-Hahn, situated on the southern edge of Aachen near the forests surrounding Hahn. This local running and walking event offers distances suitable for most participants: a 300 m untimed Bambini run, a 1 km student race, the 4.2 km “Small Kitz,” the 10 km “Kitz10,” 10 km walking and Nordic walking, and the 21.1 km “Big Kitz” half marathon.
The courses traverse natural, hilly terrain in southern Aachen, with some segments following the Eifelsteig trail. The event attracts runners from the Aachen region and the Germany-Belgium-Netherlands border area. Most races are part of the Regio Aachen Laufcup, excluding the Bambini run and walking events. The organizers emphasize a family-oriented atmosphere, featuring music, food, and an extensive cake buffet alongside the races.
