On October 3, 2026, the Freizeitsportverein Neustadt (Orla) 1978 e.V. invites runners of all ages and abilities to participate in its annual race day at Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 12 in Neustadt (Orla). The event offers a variety of distances, catering to everyone from young children to seasoned athletes. The youngest participants can start their running journey with the Kinderlauf, a short 0.7-kilometer course designed for kids aged 4-9 years old. For slightly older competitors, there's the Jugendlauf at 1.3 kilometers, open to runners between 10 and 13 years of age. The Jedermannslauf is an inclusive event with no age restrictions, covering a distance of 3.3 kilometers. This race provides a welcoming environment for all participants who wish to enjoy running without pressure from competitive categories. For those seeking more challenging distances, the 6.5-kilometer Wertungslauf welcomes runners aged 14 and above, while the longer 11.3-kilometer Wertungslauf is open to athletes 16 years or older. Both races feature a mix of terrain that showcases Neustadt's scenic landscapes. The event also includes Nordic Walking options for both distances (6.5 km and 11.3 km), offering participants an opportunity to explore the area on foot with walking poles, enhancing their experience through upper body engagement. Additionally, there is a Marsch mit Gepäck available in both lengths, designed for those who wish to test endurance while carrying gear. The highlight of the day will be the 21.4-kilometer Halbmarathon, which also requires participants to be at least 16 years old. This event attracts runners from across the region and beyond, providing a competitive yet friendly atmosphere as they navigate through Neustadt's picturesque routes. Registration for all events opens on May 15, 2026, with entries accepted until October 1, 2026. Participants can expect an engaging day filled with camaraderie and excitement, culminating in prize awards from 12:30 PM onwards. The event also features cup competitions such as the Saale-Orla-Cup for shorter distances and TLV-Laufcup across various race categories. Join us on October 3rd to experience a memorable day of running amidst Neustadt's charming surroundings.
