24th Lichterlauf Duisburg

The 24. Lichterlauf Duisburg (Lichterlauf Duisburg) is an evening running event held around the Duisburger Regattabahn, with start and finish located on Kruppstraße. The race is notable for its long-running lighting project around the Regattabahn; organisers emphasise that the course is illuminated by a privately funded lamp installation that the event helps finance. The event is organised by Bunert – Der Duisburger Laufladen in cooperation with local partners and includes a charity element with proceeds supporting local projects.

The 2026 edition on 12 September offers a Bambini run plus 5 km and 10 km races that use one or two laps of the Regattabahn circuit. Practical details and schedule are published on the event site and the Ausschreibung (event brief); the 5 km and 10 km race start times are listed in the Ausschreibung while the children’s start time is given with slight variations on different pages. Online registration is available via the official event pages and the organisers publish registration deadlines, start packet mailing information and participation terms on the event website.
