The New Balance KÖ MEILE will take place for the fifth time on 6 September 2026. Last year, around 3800 runners of all ages took part.
The modern event on Düsseldorf's famous boulevard is aimed at young talents, amateur runners and elite athletes. There is an extra classification for schools and companies. The motto of the event is "Düsseldorf läuft Jemeensam", and the focus is on the fun of running. The race is modelled on the "Fifth Avenue Mile" in New York. Like the famous street in Manhattan, the Königsallee has also been transformed into an officially measured running course. (Source: Organiser)
