10K races near Nottuln

The Volks- und Feuerwehrlauf Rhede is a local running event in Rhede, Germany, offering flat 5 km and 10 km races on a Saturday in early October.

Both primary races feature flat courses, suitable for runners seeking a direct road race without hills or technical sections. All participants finish at the same line, and the event also includes children's and teenagers' races, positioning it as a local family race day rather than solely an adult, single-distance competition.

Saerbecker Kirmeslauf starts and finishes at Sparkassen-Stadion-Saerbeck on Lindenstrasse, with racing on German Unity Day.

The route uses flat side streets around Saerbeck on a fully asphalted, fast course, and the 5 km and 10 km are measured with a Jones Counter under DLV rules. Timing comes from a transponder on the back of each bib, and finishing order decides the results. Every child in the children's runs gets a medal, overall awards go three deep for men and women in each race, and age-group winners are also honored. Headphones are not allowed on the course, and runners are asked to park away from the stadium because nearby parking is limited.
