20. Otterndorfer Stundenlauf

The 20. Otterndorfer Stundenlauf is a community endurance event held at Jahn-Sportplatz in Otterndorf on 18 July 2026, offering two timed track races: the Halbstundenlauf (30 minutes) and the Stundenlauf (60 minutes). Participants aim to complete as many 400-metre laps as possible within the allotted time and the remaining distance is measured after the clock stops. The event is organised by TSV Otterndorf von 1862 e.V. – Leichtathletik-Abteilung and follows DLV age rules for participation.

Both races feature transponder timing (loaned with the race pack), recorded intermediate times eligible for best-list purposes, and a refreshment station at the start/finish area. Each entrant receives a certificate showing the distance run and split times, and on-site late registration is possible subject to participant limits and a small surcharge. The organiser also runs a free running-shoe test in partnership with AbsoluteRun Bremen alongside the main races.
