10K races near Timmendorfer Strand

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.
