Stadtfestlauf Lüdinghausen 2026

The Stadtfestlauf Lüdinghausen marks the start of the town’s city festival weekend, typically held around the third Sunday in September. Union Lüdinghausen coordinates the running events, which begin with races for toddlers and kindergarteners in the afternoon and conclude with a 10-kilometer race open to all participants in the early evening. The race is integrated with the festival, not separate from it. Race day transitions into evening musical performances on the Marktplatz and a party for those over 29 on the Rathausplatz. The following day is geared toward families, featuring children’s activities and a flea market throughout the city center offering toys and clothing.
