The Lipperland Marathon is a full marathon held in Humfeld, following a hilly and varied route through the Lipper Bergland during autumn. It is not designed for record attempts; the organizers acknowledge that the name Lipperland does not imply fast times, and spectator turnout is not substantial. The appeal lies in the scenery, the dynamic course, and the intimate atmosphere of the village event. Participants can anticipate expansive views across Lipperland, a communal setup, and a welcoming, straightforward race where the residents of Humfeld express anticipation for each runner.
