The Braunschweig Running Days (Braunschweiger Lauftage) is a popular autumn road running festival held annually in Braunschweig, Germany, typically on the last Sunday of October. In the 2025 edition, participants can choose between three distances—5 km, 10 km, and the half‑marathon (21.1 km)—with all races starting and finishing at the city’s historic Kohlmarkt. The course winds through charming urban parks, loops around the Südsee lake, and passes by landmarks like Prinz-Albrecht-Park and the Oker River, offering a scenic and spectator-friendly route. With around 2,000 runners of varying experience levels, the event promotes inclusivity by providing medals and certificates for all finishers, alongside prize categories for top performers. An accompanying race village creates a festive atmosphere, making it both a competitive and community-centric highlight of the local sports calendar.
