Förderturm Charity Firmenlauf Essen 2026

The Förderturm Charity Firmenlauf Essen is a 5 km road race in Essen, Germany, beginning at the ThyssenKrupp headquarters on Altendorfer Strasse. It takes place in September, starting at 18:00, lending it the character of an after-work company event rather than a weekend competition. Förderturm - Ideen für Essener Kinder e.V. organizes the run, with a programme centered on a charity company race that includes options for adults, young runners, schoolchildren, and Bambini. The primary event is a 5 km course, complemented by shorter children's races of 400 m and 1,000 m. Entry fees are reasonable, with distinct pricing for adults, youth, school runners, and Bambini. Race result manages the timing. Participants are expected to include workplace teams, local runners, families, and children from Essen. Start lists, results, photos, and reports will be published post-event. Existing feedback highlights the atmosphere, course appeal, and value.
