Kickelhahn Berglauf

The Kickelhahn Berglauf is a traditional hill race organised by the Technische Universität Ilmenau community, listed for Wednesday 20 May 2026 as the 36th edition. The race climbs to the Kickelhahnturm and is described by the organiser as combining demanding ascents with grand views; the official listing emphasises a tradition and a family-style competitive atmosphere. Participants should expect a compact, steep course typical of Bergläufe and are advised to consult the organiser's website for the latest information and any course updates.

The event page lists multiple formats, notably a 6 Kilometre event plus historic-format listings for a Bergzeitlauf (5.6 km) and a Bergzeitfahren Rad (9.3 km), and notes a historical mass start at Stadion Hammergrund. The Kickelhahn Berglauf has roots stretching back decades with changing organising sections within the university sports clubs, and the 2026 listing presents both current distances and historical context. Entrants should check the organiser's site for registration, detailed schedules and facilities information ahead of attending.
