27. Rathaus Center Dessauer CityRUN 2026

The Rathaus Center Dessauer CityRUN begins and ends at the Rathaus-Center on Zerbster Strasse, located in Dessau's city center. This city-center running event offers several short race options: a 1 km Volksbank children’s run for participants up to age 9, a 4 km race, a 2 km Jedermannlauf which also serves as a company run, and a 10 km Pokallauf. The event anticipates over 2,000 participants, focusing on local involvement rather than a single main distance. The course consists of a 2 km loop through Dessau’s city center, meaning runners in longer races will traverse the central streets multiple times. The Kinderlauf and Jedermannlauf are free to enter. The 4 km race has a modest entry fee, and the 10 km Pokallauf fee includes a finisher medal. This event is in its 27th edition, and its structure accommodates school-age children, workplace teams, casual runners, and those seeking a standard 10 km race on the same day.
