Neuss, Germany (Erftlauf routes)
The Neusser Erftlauf is an established local road race organised by DJK Novesia 1919 Neuss e.V., with the event page announcing the 53. Auflage (53rd edition) as a save-the-date for 14.11.2026. The race is centred on scenic Erft routes around Neuss and traditionally offers both a shorter loop and a longer main race, attracting regional runners and club competitors alike. The event webpage highlights two main race options — a 5 km Runde (5 km loop) and the 15 km Hauptlauf — and presents the race as a community-centred November fixture. Information on precise start times and the exact start/finish location is not published on the event page and will be provided by the organiser closer to the date.
The event summary on the official page reviews the 2025 edition (52nd Auflage) and provides participation figures, reporting 1,071 registered athletes and 902 finishers, with 330 finishers in the 15 km Hauptlauf. The organiser notes that construction detours affected the 15 km route in 2025, while the 5 km loop remained eligible for best times; a similar route note is presented as context for participants. The page links to official results for 2025 and galleries from the edition, and cites local sponsors and supporters who help provide water stations, finish infrastructure and prizes. Runners are invited to observe the save-the-date for 14 November 2026 and to consult the organiser’s website for registration, detailed route maps and the athlete information that will follow.
