Berliner Cross-Country-Lauf SCC

The Berliner Cross-Country-Lauf SCC is a cross-country race held at the Julius-Hirsch-Sportanlage near Harbigstraße in western Berlin. Organized by SCC Berlin e.V., it features 4 km and 9 km races that begin simultaneously in the morning. The 4 km race is open to participants from U16 through adults, and the 9 km race is open from U18 upwards, accommodating a range of competitors from young club athletes to adult runners. The course incorporates both paved and unpaved forest trails surrounding the sports complex. Recent descriptions characterize the course as challenging, not flat or easy. The event, established in 1964, is part of the Berliner Cross-Country-Lauf series. Prizes are awarded to the top three finishers in each age and gender category. Additionally, a distinct prize is given for the fastest final lap for both men and women, adding a race within a race to the finish.
