FACKEL-LAUF - Torch Run Wuppertal

The FACKEL-LAUF (Torch Run) is an evening community run along the Nordbahntrasse in Wuppertal that emphasises atmosphere and togetherness. Held on 07 November 2026, the event runs from the Sportcenter Eskesberg start/finish and encourages colourful lighting along the route to create a distinctive torch-lit mood. The organiser presents the run under the guiding motto “Füreinander, miteinander, bewegen” and promotes a charitable element as part of the event.

The course is a 5 km loop with the option to complete a second lap for a 10 km distance, and there is no official timekeeping for participants. Each start number includes two vouchers (for a slice of pizza or a Weckmann and a cup of punsch) which are redeemable at the finish, and bib collection is available on 4 November and on race day. Safety measures are highlighted on the event page, with on-site medics, front and rear bike escorts and guidance that runners take part at their own risk.
