20. Halloween - Lauf 2026

The Halloween-Lauf is a running event held on Halloween night at Bremen’s Werdersee. The course is set against a backdrop of darkness, illuminated by lights, with fog adding to the atmosphere, and many participants wear spooky costumes. While costumes are not mandatory, the race embraces its theme: near the finish line, participants might encounter a zombie or see a pumpkin fly past. The route consists of an 8.333 km loop around the lake. The start and finish points are located between the Finnenbahn and the DLRG rescue station. Participants can select from several race distances: the Splatterthon marathon, the 25 km Monsterthon, the 16.666 km Evilthon, or the 8.333 km Halbevilthon. Children have their own 1000 m Spuklauf. The Monsterthon, Evilthon, and Halbevilthon also offer a walking option.
