7 Meilenlauf Platjenwerbe 2026

The 7 Meilenlauf Platjenwerbe is a local running event held around Platjenwerbe in Ritterhude on the second Saturday in September. Sportgemeinschaft Platjenwerbe e.V. organizes the event, which features a main 7-mile race, a 3.3-mile option, and a Mini Meile for school students. The courses are flat, and the shorter distance suits walkers, beginners, joggers, and those seeking a manageable outdoor run. All races conclude at the Dorfgemeinschaftshaus Platjenwerbe on Schulstraße. The event is open to adults, youth, children, individuals, and groups, giving it the feel of a community sports day rather than a specialized club competition. Regular registration closes in early September, though late entries are typically accepted until about two hours before the start for an additional fee. The event maintains a photo archive and results from past editions, establishing a local history beyond the race day.
