10K races near Preetz

The Stadtwerke Lübeck Marathon takes runners from Lübeck’s old town to Travemünde on the Baltic Sea and back. This October road race offers five distances: 2 km, 4 km, 10 km, a half marathon, and the full 42.2 km marathon. The same race day accommodates children, beginners, regular club runners, and marathoners. The route begins in a medieval Hanseatic city, crossing cobblestone streets before proceeding toward the coast. Travemünde defines the marathon’s out-and-back course: participants depart the historic center, reach the sea, and then return to Lübeck. Local partners consider it a significant regional sports event, with HL-SPORTS, a regional sports outlet, now a media partner.

The Westerwinkellauf begins in Herbern, a district of Ascheberg in North Rhine-Westphalia, filling a November afternoon with running and walking events. SV 1919 Herbern e. V. is the organizer, offering races from a 400 m Bambini run for children five and under up to a 10 km road race for all age groups. The shorter races feature a 1.3 km student run, a 2.8 km Schlosslauf, and 5 km options for runners and walkers. Separate starts are provided for children, youth runners, adults, and walkers, making the day resemble a local club gathering more than a single large race. The event has a long history, with a 37th edition noted, and RACE RESULT manages registration, start lists, results, and certificates.

The event originated in 1984 and is included in Zippel's Kiel Cup. Start lists, participant lists, rankings, photos, and race reports are made available.

The Winser Silvesterlauf is a New Year's Eve running event in Winsen (Aller), organized by MTV "Fichte" Winsen (Aller). It begins in the afternoon from the Allertalsporthalle at Im Allertal 1, offering runners facilities for registration, changing, and showering before and after the race. The event caters to a broad local participation base, not just a select racing group, featuring 3,000 m, 5,000 m, and 10,300 m runs. Additionally, there is a 1,600 m children's course for participants up to age 9 and a 6,400 m walking route without competitive pressure. The start and finish are both located at the Allertalsporthalle, simplifying the day for families, runners, and walkers gathering at a single venue. It serves as a customary year-end event for many local runners, though one edition was canceled due to flooding. The atmosphere is intended to be informal, yet the organizers conduct an awards ceremony and present prizes, providing an incentive for faster runners while allowing others to use it as a final communal activity before the year concludes.
