Göttingen Old Town Run

The Göttinger Altstadtlauf is an annual city-centre running event that combines sport with a vibrant local atmosphere; the 2026 edition will be the 36th running of the race under the Novelis-Cup branding. The race is staged through the Göttingen inner city and is promoted as a celebration of movement, mood and local flair that welcomes runners and spectators alike. Organisers emphasise the communal festival character and the close connection to local sponsors and businesses, which help give the event its distinctive ambience.

Practical details such as distances, wave starts and registration conditions are not yet published and the official event prospectus (Ausschreibung) will follow on the event website. The race is organised by Leichtathletikgemeinschaft Göttingen e. V. (LG Göttingen e. V.), and the site lists a hotline and a contact form for enquiries. Participants and interested parties are advised to monitor the event homepage and the "Plane Dein Rennen" and "Der Renntag" sections for the definitive entry information and race-day instructions.
