LAG Saarbrücken offers a temporarily reduced distribution on June 14th
The saarBRÜCKENlauf 2026 will take place. After the required approval from the city of Saarbrücken was granted on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 9, the board of LAG Saarbrücken decided in the evening to carry out the event despite the extremely short preparation time.
The race was uncertain in recent weeks. The city of Saarbrücken initially did not approve the event due to possible overlaps with the preparations for the Special Olympics and concerns about certain sections of the route. After further discussions, the necessary approval was granted at short notice.
However, this year's run will be offered in a reduced format. Instead of the originally planned routes, participants can complete a course of approximately 10 kilometers crossing seven bridges in Saarbrücken.
The start is on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at 10 a.m. at the Staden on the meadow between Ulanenschänke and Undine.
Due to the short remaining preparation time, there will be no registration process. The motto is: Whoever is there, runs along.
The club thanks all runners for their patience as well as the city officials for the recently granted approval and the constructive discussions of the past days.
„We are pleased that in the end it was possible to find a solution together and that the saarBRÜCKENlauf can now take place after all,“ explains Dirk Eichler-Uebel, chairman of the LAG Saarbrücken. „Given the very short preparation time, this was by no means a matter of course. All the more, we now hope for many runners who will join us at the start on Sunday.“
The saarBRÜCKEN run has been one of the most popular running events in the region for years, combining sporting activity with the most beautiful views of the state capital. The LAG Saarbrücken now hopes for numerous participants who will together set a positive example for running and voluntary commitment.
