WGP-Citylauf

The WGP-Citylauf is an evening city run held in Pirna's historic Altstadt, with start and finish on the Marktplatz in front of the Rathaus. The race is known for its distinctive torch-lit route under the motto "Im Fackelschein durch die Nacht", which creates a festival atmosphere for both runners and spectators. The event attracts individual competitors and relay teams and is presented as a community highlight in Pirna's autumn sports calendar. Organisers listed are Städtische Wohnungsgesellschaft Pirna mbH (WGP) in cooperation with the Kreissportbund Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge e. V.

The programme features a solo race of approximately 10,000 metres and a team relay of 10 legs of about 1,000 metres, with age-group classification following DLV guidelines. Prizes and trophies are awarded for top finishers in the solo and relay categories, with stated first-place prize money for the solo and relay winners. Practical information including route maps, past results and registration is published on the organiser's event pages on the WG Pirna website and via the listed registration service. The presentation emphasises the event's long-standing local tradition and its evening, torch-lit character through the Altstadt.
