38. Raesfelder Mai-Lauf

The Raesfelder Mai-Lauf is a running event held annually on the last Friday in May at Sportplatz “Zum Michael” in Raesfeld. It offers short, practical race distances: 400 metres for kindergarten children, 1,000 metres and 2.3 kilometres for school-age runners, and 5 kilometres, 10 kilometres, and a 5-kilometre walk for older participants. The schedule begins with the youngest runners in the afternoon, progressing to the longer adult races in the evening. The 5-kilometre and 10-kilometre races share a common loop, with 10-kilometre participants completing it twice. The 5-kilometre event accommodates company, family, and team entries, attracting not only individual runners but also local groups, families, walkers, children, and adults on the same day.
