46th Elsterlauf on 31 May 2026 in the spa town Bad Liebenwerda

The 46. Elsterlauf (46th Elsterlauf) is the long-established annual event centred on Bad Liebenwerda organised by Lauf- und Walkingverein 05 Bad Liebenwerda e.V., with support from SG Medizin Bad Liebenwerda e.V. The event page and the Ausschreibung act as the central hub for registration, race rules, course maps and contact details; online registration and official results are handled via the BAER-Service platform. On-site registration and packet pickup windows are published in the event information and the organiser PDFs.

The programme on 31 May 2026 includes multiple distances for runners, walkers, family cyclists and children on a single event day — from a 400 m Bambini race through short runs and a half marathon to the full marathon. Routes combine city streets and longer mixed-surface loops (asphalt, gravel, forest and field paths). The event uses a disposable chip timing system and the organiser publishes a stated Zielschluss (finish cutoff) of 13:15. All finishers receive a finisher medal and certificate; awards and age‑group prize arrangements are set out in the official information pages.

Practical information such as start/finish location (Roßmarkt, close to the Grundschulzentrum, Riesaer Str. 5-7), arrival and parking, luggage storage, changing rooms and other participant services are provided in the organiser PDFs and on the event website. For full start lists, on-site pick-up times, maps and final conditions, participants should consult the Ausschreibung and the event homepage or contact the organisers directly.
