This landscape run is organized by SW Osterfeine, with its route around the Dümmer See, the second-largest lake in the state.

The race supports the “Sportler gegen Hunger” initiative, and its twelfth running attracted a large field despite additional organizational hurdles.

The Volks- und Feuerwehrlauf Rhede, organized by the fire brigade, takes place in Rhede, North Rhine-Westphalia, every October since 2016.

Saerbecker Kirmeslauf starts and finishes at Sparkassen-Stadion-Saerbeck on Lindenstrasse, with racing on German Unity Day. SC Falke Saerbeck 1924 e.V. organizes the event, which offers a 400 m Bambini run, 1.2 km and 2 km school races, a 5 km Jedermannlauf, and a 10 km main race. The short races make room for young children and school-age runners, while the measured 5 km and 10 km give older runners a proper road-race option. The route uses flat side streets around Saerbeck on a fully asphalted, fast course, and the 5 km and 10 km are measured with a Jones Counter under DLV rules. Timing comes from a transponder on the back of each bib, and finishing order decides the results. Every child in the children's runs gets a medal, overall awards go three deep for men and women in each race, and age-group winners are also honored. Headphones are not allowed on the course, and runners are asked to park away from the stadium because nearby parking is limited.

DM Cross Riesenbeck is the German Cross Country Championships event, held in Riesenbeck, part of Hörstel in Westphalia.

The event is part of the Deutsche Meisterschaften and is also a World Ranking Competition. Races include youth, senior, and masters categories. Entries are limited to clubs from Westfalen, according to the competition notice. The Riesenbeck event provided live results and a livestream. The course layout was altered due to weather impacts on the site.

Results, start and participant lists, rankings, photos, and reports are made available to both runners and spectators. With over thirty editions held, the event has a notable history, including past adaptations to urban development; one year, construction near the monastery shortened the race to two kilometers. The race also impacts daily routines in the town through extensive road closures in the center, prompting the organizer to humorously note on their website, “We are closing down.”

Officially named the Bitburger-0,0%-Silvesterlauf after its main sponsor, the event has occurred annually since 1990.
