38th Neudorf Fichtelberg Run with State Mountain Running Championship

The 38. Neudorfer Fichtelberglauf mit Landesmeisterschaft Berglauf is a single-day mountain running event held on 3 October 2026, starting at the Spindelfabrik Neudorf and finishing on the Plateau Fichtelberg. The race covers 9.4 km with a sustained ascent to over 1,200 metres and is billed as a demanding uphill course combining asphalt and well-maintained forest paths. The organiser is Sportverein Neudorf e. V., and the event carries local patronage and club support reflecting its strong regional traditions. Runners should expect mountain terrain and a challenging climb of approximately 550 metres in elevation.

As the race is run as an open Landesmeisterschaft (state championship) and forms part of the Westsachsen-Laufcup (Trans‑Miriquidi), competitive entrants are required to state their club affiliation and meet the organiser's eligibility rules. On-site services include baggage transport, changing and shower facilities, a free return shuttle for participants and midday refreshments, with a prize ceremony held in the festival tent after the race. Registration opens via the organiser's website with a pre-entry deadline and an on-the-day late entry window; the event emphasises club competition, safety provisions and compliance with anti‑doping rules. The race retains a local, club‑run character while offering formal championship status and practical participant services.
