St. Pauli X-Mass Run 2026

The St. Pauli X-Mass Run takes place in Hamburg's St. Pauli district on the second Advent weekend. This fun run sees many participants dressed as Father Christmases, Christmas mothers, angels, reindeer, and other seasonal figures. The route passes through St. Pauli, including a section of the Millerntor Stadium, a loop around the Heiligengeistfeld, and a stretch through Planten un Blomen. The course offers a distinct Hamburg atmosphere, combining a football ground, fairground, city park, and festive costumes within a single winter run.
