Volksbank-Bever-Lauf 2026

The Volksbank-Bever-Lauf is a flat road race in Ostbevern, Germany, located in the northernmost municipality of the Warendorf district in North Rhine-Westphalia. Participants can select from 2 km, 5 km, 10 km, or a half marathon. The event includes children’s and youth races in addition to the adult races. The 5 km race begins in the afternoon, followed by the 10 km race in the early evening. All races conclude at Überwasser 1 in Ostbevern. The 5 km route consists of a two-lap loop through the rural Bauerschaft area, following the Bever river before returning towards the Beverstadion. The main race distances are flat, making the course suitable for new runners, club runners, and those seeking a consistent pace instead of a challenging, hilly course. BSV Ostbevern is the organizing body for this event, which is part of the Volksbank-Cup-Laufserie and is approximately in its twentieth year. Spectators can be found along sections of the route, offering encouragement to participants.
