41st Osterburg Altmark Run

The Osterburger Altmarklauf (41. Osterburger Altmarklauf) is a long-established regional cross-country running event held at the Landessportschule Osterburg. The race is staged through the nearby Osterburg-Polkerner Forst and features hilly, forested terrain with narrow forest paths that present an early-season challenge for competitors. The meeting traditionally includes multiple distances and age-group classes, combining a junior stadium race with longer cross-country courses for older athletes.

This edition is part of the ELBE-OHRE-CUP series and brings together club and age-group runners across the Altmark region. Races on the day include a 1,000 m children’s/stadium race and two forest cross-country distances (5.5 km and 11 km), organised with official timekeeping and published results. Event information including the race programme, registration links and the Ausschreibung (race information PDF) are provided on the organiser’s event pages.
