28. Altendorf-Ersdorfer Obstmeilenlauf 2026

The Altendorf-Ersdorfer Obstmeilenlauf is a running event held in late October in Altendorf-Ersdorf, centered on the local orchards and taking place on the last Saturday of the month. It has been a fixture on the local running calendar since 1995, offering three distances: the 5.3 km Little Obstmeile for those seeking a shorter run, the 9.6 km Big Obstmeile, and the 16 km Megameile. The course guides runners through the fruit plantations surrounding Altendorf-Ersdorf, establishing the event's apple-and-orchard character. It attracts a significant number of recreational runners, with over 500 participants noted in a recent running. The apples presented at the finish line are a favored element, and victors are awarded fruit baskets brimming with produce instead of conventional trophies.
