The event "Wettkampf - 14. Osnabrücker Gipfelsturm - 2026" (Osnabrücker Gipfelsturm) is a single-day hill-climb running race taking place on 25 April 2026, with the start at Marktplatz, Osnabrück at 11:00. The course is a challenging 10.7 km route that progresses through city streets and paths towards the Piesberg, finishing with a steep final ascent to the Felsrippe. The race is limited to 1,000 starters and serves a charitable purpose with proceeds supporting Diakonie counselling in the city and district. Registration is online only and closes on 22 April 2026; there are explicitly no on-day late entries.
The route is notable for its climbs and a final stair section of 269 steps, making the Gipfelsturm suited to experienced and well-trained runners rather than untrained participants or young children. Organisers provide accessibility support including a bus transfer for participants with reduced mobility, and sustainability guidance asking runners to bring their own drinking vessel. Practical details, maps (digital Komoot route) and the official FAQ are available via the event page on laufen-os.de and the linked Gipfelsturm portal.
