Dohnaer Adventslauf 2026

The Dohnaer Adventslauf is a December running event in Dohna, Saxony, part of the Dohnaer Sportpokal and organized by MSV Meusegast with the city of Dohna. It features several distances: a mini-run of about 100 meters for children aged 3 to 6, a 1.4 km children’s race, a 4.8 km race for youth and older age groups, and a 9.6 km race for adults up to the older masters categories. Starts begin in the early afternoon, with awards following soon after for course winners and age-group winners. The current start and finish are at Gut Gamig, though earlier editions used the Dohna market square. The 9.6 km race consists of two laps, the 4.8 km route is a loop with about 100 meters of climbing, and walkers have their own classification. The event also includes the Saxon Inclusion Run, held on a 400-meter circuit for 30 minutes without ranking, allowing participation without competitive results. Overall and age-group podiums recognize the top three finishers. The setup is practical and small-town, with low entry fees, late registration on race day, and nearby changing rooms and showers in the Dohna gymnasium.
