3. LaufLeben Running Crew e.V. Freundschaftslauf
The LaufLeben Running Crew e.V. Freundschaftslauf is a local charity run in Mainz, Germany, held at the Bezirkssportanlage Mainz-Drais on Hesslerweg. Organized by LaufLeben Running Crew e.V., it features three straightforward race distances: an 800 m Kids-Run, a 5 km run, and a 10 km run. The children's race begins the morning's events, with the 5 km and 10 km races following soon after. Entry fees are modest, with different rates for children, 5 km participants, and 10 km participants. Late registration incurs an additional charge. The courses begin and end at the sports ground in Mainz-Drais, leading participants onto farm, meadow, and field paths, some of which are asphalted. This is not a flat city-center race; the terrain is gently undulating. The 5 km course involves approximately 40 m of elevation gain, and the 10 km course has about 90 m. The event blends aspects of a local road race, a scenic run, and a community fundraiser. Proceeds support a charitable cause, and all children completing the 800 m race receive a prize, reflecting the event's welcoming, club-organized atmosphere.
