22. Kirchberger Kirwalauf 2026

The Kirchberger Kirwalauf is a summer running event held in Kirchberg im Wald, a Bavarian village (postal code 94259). It is connected to the local Kirwa folk festival, making the race a component of a village festival day, not an isolated road race. The program offers short-distance, locally accessible options, including children's races from 500 m up to a 7 km run. The event also features a 1.5 km relay for teams of three, a 4 km walk, and listed race distances of approximately 1 km, 2 km, 4 km, 5 km, 6 km, and 7 km, varying by category. The race is classified as a Berglauf, indicating a hilly course rather than a flat city circuit. The 22nd Kirchberger Kirwalauf emphasizes broad participation, accommodating walkers, relay teams, younger runners, and individuals seeking a short Bavarian festival race within the same event.
