24. Wilhelmsfelder Kerwelauf

The Wilhelmsfelder Kerwelauf is a local summer running event in Wilhelmsfeld, Germany, held at the Odenwaldhalle. The race begins at 365 meters above sea level, providing a distinct Odenwald setting instead of a flat city-race atmosphere. The Kerwelauf is now in its 24th year, and the organizer characterizes it as a traditional race for the town’s health-resort community. Runners can select from various marked routes, with a dedicated 10 km option for walkers. The Odenwaldhalle also functions as the administrative hub, consolidating the start, race-number collection, and event logistics. Sissy Baumann running concepts manages the timing with bib-mounted chips. Recent results show new course records, indicating a competitive element beyond casual local participation.
