A Krefeld Cycling Institution

Since 1978, RV Staubwolke 09 Fischeln e.V. has been organizing the 'Rund in Fischeln' cycling race. What began as a district race in 1978 is now one of the most important cycling events in NRW – not least because the NRW Championship is integrated in 2026. The 48th edition on April 26, 2026, promises high speeds, large fields, and an enthusiastic crowd at the trackside.

The Circuit: 1.35 km, Seven Turns

The circuit through the streets of Krefeld-Fischeln is 1.35 km long and has seven turns. This technically demanding course requires constant concentration from the riders and is also spectator-friendly, as the field passes the same point multiple times per lap.

Amateur Race over 28 km

The amateur race over 28 km is open to the wider cycling community. Hobby riders, club members, and ambitious amateur athletes participate – an experience that goes far beyond pure competition.

NRW Championship 2026

The highlight is the NRW Championship, integrated into the race day. The best cyclists from North Rhine-Westphalia compete for the state championship title. For spectators, it's top-class cycling spectacle; for the athletes, it's an important season goal.

Race Day from Early to Late

The race day begins at 6:30 AM and runs until 9:00 PM. Different age groups compete in start waves, from Fat-Bike children to youth classes and the elite. Between races, there is catering, a club station, and live commentary.

Sponsors and Support

The race is supported by RV Staubwolke 09 Fischeln, with contributions from sponsors such as Brauerei Königshof, Stadtsparkasse Krefeld, and Volksbank. The volunteer helpers, led by Felix Linders – the club's spokesperson – ensure professional execution with the highest safety standards year after year.

Fischeln – Krefeld's Southwestern District

Krefeld-Fischeln is located in the southwest of the city, bordering the Lower Rhine region. With its quiet residential streets and manageable town center, Fischeln is ideal for a cycling race: residents are supportive, the city closes the streets for a day, and a unique mix of district festival and high-performance sport emerges.
