38. VR Bank Westküsten Herbstlauf Schafstedt 2026

The VR Bank Westküsten Herbstlauf Schafstedt is an autumn running event held in Schafstedt, a village in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. Now in its 38th year, it features 3 km, 5 km, and 10 km races, alongside a 5 km walking option. The races commence in the morning, with the event designed for adults and younger participants, not exclusively seasoned club athletes. The 3 km race is flat. The 5 km run and 5 km walk follow a course with some hills. All events conclude at the same finish line. The event fosters a family atmosphere, with children’s and youth races included with the adult events. The autumn setting provides runners with fresh air and views of the local countryside, distinct from a large-city race environment.
