Runschnellweg Essen - Mülheim 2026

The RUNschnellweg is a night run on the Ruhr cycle highway between Mülheim and Essen. Participants need a headlamp as the cycle path is not illuminated. The event offers a half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km races. In 2026, the start and finish will be at the FUNKE Medien headquarters in Essen. The event will feature light effects and music at the turnaround points and aid stations.
