33. Lauf "Rund um den Grengel"

Engelskirchen hosts an exciting race day with various distances and age categories designed to cater to runners of all levels, from young children to seasoned athletes. The main events take place at the Sportpark Leppe on September 25th, offering a mix of flat terrain through sports fields, streets, and forest paths.
The event kicks off at 2:00 PM with a community championship for youth aged U12 in both boys' and girls' categories. This is followed closely by the Bambinilauf, a fun run for children up to age seven, starting at 2:05 PM. For those looking for more distance, the main race begins at 3:00 PM with a challenging but flat 10 km course open to participants aged U16 and above.
Younger runners have their own opportunity to shine in the SchülerInnenlauf at 3:15 PM, featuring a 1.6 km route for students from ages eight through fifteen. This event is designed not only as a competitive race but also as an encouraging platform for young athletes to experience running under official conditions.
Participants can register exclusively online via the VfL Engelskirchen website (https://vflengelskirchen.de/grengellauf), and group registrations are encouraged for those looking to save. The deadline for standard registration is September 25th, but late entries will be accepted until an hour before each race's start time with a fee of €5.
Race fees vary based on the distance: Bambinilauf costs €2 per participant; Schülerläufe cost €4; and both the 5 km and 10 km races are priced at €9 for adults, though youth participants pay only €7. All finishers receive recognition in their respective categories, with top three finishers awarded trophies.
The race day is not just about competition but also community spirit and fun. Upon completion of each event, all Bambinis (children) receive a medal to celebrate their achievement.
