Cottbuser Oktoberlauf

The Cottbus October Run is a traditional running event held at the Cottbus Sports Centre, in the athletics stadium and mainly in the woods on firm paths and cycle paths. The event offers various distances ranging from 400 metres to a half marathon (21.1 km), with some paved and unpaved sections. Children and young people can take part in special runs featuring obstacles and varied sections. Participants receive a commemorative medal and can access their certificates online. The event is part of the Sparkassen Running and Walking Cup and offers trophies and prizes to the top runners in various age groups.

Timing uses an ankle transponder, which must be returned after the race (a 20 EUR fee applies if it is lost). The race bib must be worn visibly on the chest. Trophies, certificates and prizes are awarded for age groups and overall results. Please note the course changes for the 5, 10.5 and 21.1 km distances. Late registration is available online until 3.10.2025 and on site until one hour before the start. Start time: 10:50. The event is part of the Sparkassen Running and Walking Cup. Online registration is available. Categories include children’s races and a Bambini run.
