Mühlenberger Nikolauslauf 2026

Mühlenberger Nikolauslauf is a local road race in Hannover, Germany, held annually on December 6 and organized by Mühlenberger SV v. 1973 Hannover. It begins at Ossietzkyring 48 in the Mühlenberg district, featuring 10 km, 5 km, 2.5 km, and 1.1 km race distances, along with a children’s and school run. The typical participation ranges from 300 to 500 runners, positioning it as a community club event rather than a large-scale city race. The race is part of the Laufpass der Region Hannover, connecting it to other running events in the area. Its timing on St. Nicholas Day defines the series' character, and its numerous past editions confirm it as a long-standing tradition. The event format appeals to club runners, casual participants, families, and schoolchildren seeking a brief, structured road race before the year concludes.
