The 17th edition of the Sparkassen Cross Pforzheim will take place on Saturday, 15 November 2025, at the traditional Lohwiesenhof course in Pforzheim-Huchenfeld, Germany. One of the country’s premier off-road competitions, the event once again forms part of the World Athletics Cross Country Tour (Silver level), attracting a blend of top German talent and emerging international contenders.
The entire event will be streamed live for free worldwide on YouTube. The live coverage is scheduled to begin at 10:50 am Central European Time (GMT +1).
The demanding terrain at Lohwiesenhof — featuring rolling fields, a purpose-built hill, sand sections, and sharp technical turns — makes Pforzheim a true test of strength and cross-country form ahead of the European winter season. The senior men will contest approximately 8.8 km, while the senior women race 6.6 km.
