5km

This year, we are introducing a brand-new 5-kilometre distance! You can choose to run alone or as part of a team.

In the team race, exactly 3 runners start together – each running the full 5 km at the same time. The individual times will be added together to form the team’s final time. The three fastest teams will win great prizes!

Whether with friends, colleagues, or family – the focus is on having fun and enjoying running together.

Participation is open from the age of 12.

Join us – run alone or as a team!

Registration from 12 y.o.

Start

6.15pm : Start 5 kilometers (individual and team)

Each runner will be individually timed.
