Freiberger Herbstlauf

The Freiberger Herbstlauf is held as the 43rd edition (43. Herbstlauf) on Saturday 12 September 2026 with start and finish at the sport facility Platz der Einheit in Freiberg. The event focuses on woodland courses that run "quer durch den Stadtwald" and through surrounding forests, offering varied terrain and several climbs that make the routes physically engaging. This single‑day festival of running caters to grassroots and club runners while keeping a strong local character and community atmosphere.

The programme spans a wide range of distances, from stadium laps for Bambini to the Intersport Noack half marathon, plus Nordic walking, a Firmenstaffel, team competitions and a 10 km unicycle race. The organiser (TSV92 Freiberg) lists a number of local sponsors and a timing partner, Lausitz Timing, and states that registration is open on the official site. The event is family friendly and suitable for a wide spectrum of abilities, emphasising varied forest scenery and a mix of competitive and fun races.
