Sparkassenlauf Aurich

Sparkassenlauf Aurich is a city-centre road race that returns to the traditional Saturday-morning format with a start and finish at Georgswall. The course takes runners from Georgswall through the Auricher Hafen and directly along the full pedestrian zone before returning to the Georgswall finish area. The event page lists 5 September 2026 as the primary date but also contains an older line referencing 5 September 2025, so the 2026 date is treated as the current schedule on the official site. The race branding highlights a revival of familiar formats and a focus on community racing in Aurich.

The event offers multiple competitive options including 5 km and 10 km road races, a Doppelwertung (combined classification for running both distances), and the De Baalje Schüler-Cup with seven age-group school races, plus a team classification for firms, clubs and groups. Sparkasse is the title sponsor and the organiser promotes school-class prize money and a returning team prize structure. Online registration is available via the official site and the event is organised by pulsschlag Event Marketing in partnership with local sponsors. Entrants are directed to the event pages for registration, participant information and results.
