Grafschafter Ahrtal Run

The Grafschafter Ahrtal-Lauf is planned for Sunday 21 June 2026 and takes place at the Sportplatz in Grafschaft-Vettelhoven. The event offers multiple distances including a 10 km race, a 5 km race, a 5 km walking category and children's races (400 m and 1 km), and is registered with the Deutschen Leichtathletik-Verband (DLV). The race is organised by Grafschafter Spvgg. e. V. (Lauftreff Grafschaft) in cooperation with SV Dernau and SV Hönningen/Ahr and forms part of the Ahrtal-Team-Cup series.

The courses run through woodland, vineyards and field paths with a mix of gravel and paved sections and notable elevation changes, making the event scenic and varied. Facilities at the Sportplatz include on-site parking and changing rooms with showers, and there are refreshments and aid stations on course plus finish-area snacks. Online registration via RaceResult is expected to open from April 2026 and the event places emphasis on community participation, age-group awards and prizes for top finishers in the main distances.
