raCe Chemnitz — Halbmarathon, 10 km, YoungStars, Bambini-Lauf am 27. September 2026

Race Chemnitz is a morning running event held in Chemnitzer Stadtpark. It features a half marathon, a 10 km race, a 1 km YoungStars run, and a 500 m Bambini-Lauf. Lauf-KulTour Chemnitz e.V. organizes this non-commercial, open community event, bringing together children, first-timers, hobby runners, and faster athletes on a single race day in the park. The 10 km route is flat and fast, crossing the Stadtpark. The half marathon is presented as the city’s fastest and serves as the main distance. The YoungStars run offers older children a brief challenge, while the Bambini-Lauf emphasizes enjoyment and running as a group. The event benefits from local support: the Lord Mayor is its patron, crowdfunding contributed to its establishment, and it draws upon Chemnitz's recent experience hosting a large city marathon that attracted thousands of participants and onlookers.
