26. Krautsander Insellauf 2026

The Krautsander Insellauf features unique distances: 2.222 m, 5.555 m, and 11.111 m, alongside a 5.555 m event for walking and Nordic walking. It takes place on the Elbe island of Krautsand, near Drochtersen in Lower Saxony, with the race held annually in early October. Leichtathletikgemeinschaft Kehdingen is the organizer, with SV Dornbusch and TV Wischhafen serving as hosts. The courses are flat and run on roads, featuring a common finish line for all events. The schedule accommodates children and youth runners, adults participating in the shorter and longer distances, and walkers, presenting it as a community race day rather than a singular main event. The inaugural race occurred in 1999, and the island location provides a more tranquil, rural atmosphere compared to an urban road race.
