Harzlauf Thale is a cross-country style trail running event held in the Kurpark Thale at the entrance to the Bodetal. The event, listed on the organiser page as the 2026 edition, stages multiple distances through the autumnal forests of the Harz, with races beginning from 09:15 on the scheduled day. The original German title "Harzlauf Thale" is used by the organisers and the race retains a strong local character with varied elevation and forested trails around Thale.
Organised by SV Stahl Thale e.V. together with the Stadt Thale, the event offers youth and adult distances including a Hexenpfützenlauf for Nachwuchs and longer Roßtrappenlauf options up to 22.6 km. Registration is handled via the organiser's page and competitors collect their start numbers on race morning from 07:00 in the Kurpark Thale; on-day entries are not permitted. Past editions and results are published for reference and the event traditionally takes place in late October.
