schnelleStelle Firmenlauf Leipzig 2026

The schnelleStelle Firmenlauf Leipzig is a company road run held on a June evening in Leipzig. It begins at 5:40 p.m. from Festwiese Leipzig at Cottaweg 5. The primary distance is a short and accessible 4.8 km, making the event suitable for workplace teams and regular runners alike. The program features a company run, team run, road run, and fitness challenge. For a local corporate event, the participation is substantial, with approximately 10,001 to 25,000 participants. The course is a 4.8 km loop originating from the festival grounds at Cottaweg. It proceeds towards Erich-Köhn-Straße, Rietschelstraße, and Friesenstraße, then continues through Hans-Driesch-Straße, Landauer Brücke, and Am Sportforum before looping back over the Cottaweg bridge. This race has been held annually since 2008 and is managed by Die Sportmacher GmbH. Emphasizing the social aspect of the workplace, the organizers describe it as “the different networking party.” The route incorporates live music and cheerleaders, transforming what could be a simple weekday jog into a company outing with running shoes.
