37.Bessunger Merck-Lauf 2026

The Bessunger Merck-Lauf is a running event in Darmstadt, taking place in September with the Orangerie Darmstadt as its race setting. The name connects it to Bessungen, Darmstadt’s southern district, and to Merck, the Darmstadt-based company associated with the event. The race is supported by TGB 1865 Darmstadt e.V., a long-established local sports club. Its history is extensive enough to have a chronicle published for an anniversary edition, indicating this is a community race with established roots.
