Volks-und Wandertag Preußisch Oldendorf

Volks-und Wandertag Preussisch Oldendorf is a running event in Preussisch Oldendorf, located in the Ostwestfalen region of North Rhine-Westphalia. It takes place on the third Sunday in May, coinciding with the international Volks- und Wandertag. Participants can choose from 5 km, 12 km, and 20 km race options. The event caters to a wide range of participants, including trained runners, Nordic walkers, children, and youth, with specific disciplines for each group. The 20 km main run presents a significant challenge, featuring approximately 570 meters of elevation gain across unpaved forest paths. The course crosses the Limberg and Offelter Berg, and includes a passage by the Preussisch Oldendorf observation tower. This route emphasizes hilly terrain, woodland, and technical footing over flat-road speed. The 5 km and 12 km distances offer accessible options for less experienced runners and walkers to engage in the local event without undertaking the full, demanding course.
