Sparkassen Cross Pforzheim is a prominent cross‑country meeting held at the Lohwiesenhof venue in Pforzheim. The event is presented on the organiser’s official site as Sparkassen Cross Pforzheim and is shown in association with the World Cross Country Tour branding on the event navigation. Races are staged in all weather and the meeting brings together regional championships, club and open categories alongside special formats such as the Speed‑Cross.
