O wyścigu
Volkslauf Zehlendorf, organized by LG Süd Berlin, takes place at the Zehlendorf toboggan run on Onkel-Tom-Straße. As a Volkscrosslauf, it emphasizes local, open cross-country running over a city road race. The event includes 10 km, 5 km, and 1.8 km races, with specific options for children and school pupils.
The race, which began in 1962, is included in the Berliner Läufercup. TuS Lichterfelde Laufbewerbe is the organizer, and registration is managed via their website. The start by the Rodelbahn provides a distinct Zehlendorf atmosphere. The combination of 10 km, 5 km, cross-country, and youth runners creates a club-focused race day with a wide range of participants, rather than an event centered on a single distance.
