On October 26, 2026, the picturesque town of Holzkirchen will host its annual Marktlauf race series. The event offers something for runners at all levels and ages, from seasoned long-distance athletes to young children. Registration opens on July 15, 2026, at 8 AM, with participants able to pick up their starting numbers either Saturday between 2 PM and 4 PM or Sunday before the start of each race. The event hub is located in the Turnhalle (Baumgartenstr.). The main races kick off on Sunday morning: a challenging 10-mile run at 9:30 AM, followed by a more accessible 10km route starting promptly at 10 AM. For younger participants, there's a fun-filled "Zwergerl" race for children aged between 2019 and 2022, which also starts in the Baumgartenstrasse but is divided into multiple start blocks to accommodate all eager young runners. Later in the morning at approximately 11:15 AM, awards ceremonies are held on the Sportplatz (Baumgartenstr.) for the Zwergerl race and then around noon for both the 10km and 10-mile events. The afternoon brings more excitement with children's races starting from the Marktplatz at 1 PM and a team relay event that starts just after, aiming to foster teamwork among runners of all ages. The day concludes with awards ceremonies recognizing individual achievements as well as team efforts on the Sportplatz (Baumgartenstr.). Competitors in both the 10-mile run and the 10km race can look forward to receiving medals for first place in their respective age categories, along with vouchers from Bergzeit. The Zwergerl participants are all winners and will each receive a medal. The event is designed around providing an enjoyable experience for runners of every level. Participants can enjoy refreshment stations during the 10-mile race and catered snacks like coffee, cakes, butterbrot sandwiches, open-faced sandwiches, and local delicacies at various points throughout the day. Post-race amenities include changing facilities in the Turnhalle (separate men's and women's areas), showers near the changing rooms, and free entry to BATUSA swimming pool upon picking up starting numbers. Given that the Simon-Judi-Markt is also taking place on this date, there will be road closures around town. Therefore, it’s advisable for participants to arrive early with ample time to park or use public transportation options like walking from the train station which takes about 15 minutes. The event's website provides detailed maps and information regarding parking locations such as Hafnerstraße 15 near the railway station, Au (Industriestraße 51), Eisstadion Thannerstrasse 6. Overall, this race promises a day filled with community spirit, scenic routes through Holzkirchen's charming streets, and an atmosphere that celebrates running in all its forms.
