Ellewicker Adventslauf 2026

The Ellewicker Adventslauf is a small Advent road race in Vreden, North Rhine-Westphalia, run in December since 2016. Its program is compact: a 1.5 km children’s race for U8 to U14 runners and a 5 km race for everyone from U12 through seniors. ASV Ellewick-Crosewick Laufbewerbe organizes it, and recent fields have been close to 300 finishers. The races start and finish at the Schützenhalle, with the children going first and the 5 km following later in the afternoon. The children’s race stays on a short loop, while the 5 km uses two laps of a 2.5 km circuit. It is set up for families as much as club runners: children who register early get a surprise gift, all participating children can join the tombola, bibs are handed out at the hall, and results use net timing.
