Winter Run and Duel with Neptun

The event "Winterlauf & Zweikampf mit Neptun" on 21 February 2026 is organised by Neptun 08 Finsterwalde e.V. and combines a running competition with a swimming component, staged across Bürgerheide / Stadion des Friedens and the Fiwave swimming hall in Finsterwalde. The organiser publishes course material including a Halbmarathon GPX and a marked route plan, indicating that the half‑marathon course is a primary distance and that shorter routes share the same aid points. The meeting is open to a wide range of ages from Schüler D up to adults and is presented as a community multisport event rather than a large commercial race.

Course logistics are emphasised: routes are marked with chalk spray and arrows on trees, kilometre markings are provided and marshals are posted at junctions, while aid stations are placed on the half‑marathon route and apply to the other distances. The event is listed as part of the BC‑ and BNC‑Cup 2026 series and the organiser provides downloadable GPX/street plans to help participants prepare. For entry, contact and detailed race information the organiser’s event page and official registration links should be consulted.
