Night Run in the Rheinpark: When Düsseldorf runs under floodlights
The Night Run brings movement, music, and stadium atmosphere to the Rhine on September 19, 2026. Amid the illuminated Rheinpark, running enthusiasts meet for the second time for an evening that combines pace, team spirit, and goosebumps. The 5-kilometer race starts at 20:15, followed by the 10 kilometers in two waves at 20:45 and 21:30.

Illumination, beats, and field tension on the running course
The Rheinpark will become a stage for an event that goes far beyond a classic fun run. Three DJs along the course, one DJ at the Rhine terrace, and the new Party Pacers create a rhythm that carries your legs and replaces the chants of the running community. The route is intentionally atmospheric: light, music, and the view of the Rhine create a setting that captivates both leisure runners and ambitious starters alike.

Routes, start times, and athletic options
Those who want to start shorter can choose the 5 kilometers. Those who wish to extend the evening sportily will start over 10 kilometers. The Night Run opens the event area from 18:00 for the distribution of starting materials, and all participants will receive a finisher medal at the finish line. Registration is possible until the event day, according to the official event page.

Rheinpark as a running backdrop with an urban character
The Rheinpark Golzheim is one of the most prominent green spaces in Düsseldorf. The official city site describes the area as a 24-hectare area between Cecilienallee and Robert-Lehr-Ufer; the circular route is considered barrier-free, with asphalt and park path-based surfaces as well as partial lighting. For access, the city mentions free parking under the Theodor-Heuss-Brücke, and public transport connections are available via several subway lines.

Those who want to experience the special mix of community, pace, and evening atmosphere live should mark this date in their calendars and not miss the starting line in the Rheinpark.
