The Soda Zitron Night Run Kufstein is a 5 km night race held in Kufstein. It begins at Fischergries and proceeds through the city after sunset. The event emphasizes an evening start, illumination, music, and a festive atmosphere over a traditional road race. The Thenex Runclub Kufstein is the organizer, with assistance from Soda Zitron, the city of Kufstein, and the Kufsteinerland tourism association.
The course winds through Kufstein’s illuminated old town, past historic structures, and around the fortress, offering a condensed city circuit instead of an extended out-and-back road segment. This event is designed for recreational runners, club members, teams, and individuals seeking a brief community run. Complementing the 5 km race are a group warm-up, activity stations, a neon body-paint booth, and a distinct 100 m uphill sprint with its own classification. Team participation is also a draw, with groups like the BKH Kufstein team having joined the inaugural event and achieved placements in the team standings.
