The Herbstlauf ASC Finsterwalde is an autumn running event in Finsterwalde, Brandenburg, Germany, with the main race beginning at 10:00 AM. The name translates to “autumn run,” and the program focuses on practical local racing: 16 km, 8 km, 3 km, and 0.4 km distances, along with children’s and school races, Nordic walking, and road running. It is organized by ASC Grün-Weiß Finsterwalde and contributes points to both the Lausitz-Cup and Niederlausitz-Cup.
The 16 km race serves as the primary event, while the shorter distances accommodate newer runners, younger participants, and those seeking a less strenuous option. Results, start lists, participant lists, rankings, photos, and reports are made available for the event, lending it the character of a well-documented club race rather than a spontaneous fun run. Feedback is positive, with high ratings for organization, atmosphere, and value, though the course receives slightly lower marks. During the Corona period, local recreational runners were noted as eager for any competition opportunity, and ASC Grün-Weiß Finsterwalde provided a race that fulfilled this demand.
