24. Schierker Sommerlauf - Landescup 11 2026

The Schierker Sommerlauf, a summer running event in Schierke, begins at the Schierker Feuerstein Arena on a Saturday in August. It is part of Landescup 11 and is organized by Nordi. Ski-Verein Wernigerode, fitting the mountain-sport setting of the Harz region. The event diverges from the track-stadium format, offering cross-country, forest-run, and Volkslauf races instead of a single road distance. The program accommodates a broad field: children under 8 have cross-country races, youth groups add Volkslauf options from early teen categories, and older juniors and adults can choose between Volkslauf, cross-country, and Waldlauf. Masters categories extend deep, with Volkslauf entries listed into the M85 age group, meaning the day is not solely for club runners pursuing points. This is a local race series stop with a wide age structure, not a large-scale event.
