Stadtlauf-Wipperfürth | bewegend; 19th Wipperfürth City Run

The Stadtlauf (presented as the Stadtlauf-Wipperfürth | bewegend; 19. Wipperfürther Stadtlauf) is the opening sporting event of the Stadtfest Wipperfürth weekend and is staged through the historic town centre of Wipperfürth. The event takes place on 18 September 2026 and is presented by Hansestadt Wipperfuerth. The programme features a main race (Hauptlauf / Voss Hauptlauf) of approximately 10 km in which the Wipperfurther Stadtmeister and Stadtmeisterin are determined, making the race a focal point for local competitors.

The event programme also includes spectator-friendly short laps in the Innenstadt, competitions for children and youth (multiple children's races and school competitions), relays and a range of short community races. The Voss Hauptlauf is contested over seven laps on an officially DLV‑measured 10 km course and all runs are electronically timed. The organisers award a city championship to local finishers in the Hauptlauf and offer special prizes for the largest participating groups.

Participants and visitors are advised to expect road closures and traffic restrictions in the town centre; public transport is recommended. Practical information such as registration, start numbers, the organiser's Ausschreibung, final route maps, published results and photo galleries are available on the organiser's official event pages.
