Grengel Run – Round around the Grengel (Run in the Oberbergischer)

The Grengellauf – Rund um den Grengel is an annual road running meeting organised by VfL Engelskirchen e.V., Abteilung Leichtathletik & Triathlon, presented on the event page as the 33rd Lauf (33rd edition) on Saturday 26 September 2026. The meeting includes a main 10 km race (Hauptlauf), a 5 km public race (Volkslauf) that permits walking, a 600 m Bambinilauf for toddlers and a 1.6 km SchülerInnenlauf for pupils, with municipal championships embedded in the 5 km and 10 km competitions. The courses are described as predominantly flat and combine sports ground, road and forest paths, and the 5 km and 10 km routes are DLV‑measured for official accuracy. The event emphasizes community participation and a long history, with results and past editions available back to 2011.

Logistics are centred on Sportpark Leppe (start and finish), with online registration required and late online entries accepted up to 60 minutes before start for a surcharge; the organisers list a registration closing date on the page (27 September 2025) which participants may wish to clarify with the organiser. Results are published via RaceResult links on the official page and the organiser notes medical cover by Malteser Engelskirchen along with a standard liability notice. The event page provides downloadable DLV course measurement PDFs, historical reports and direct contact email for information and registration queries.
