Volkslauf Borstel 2026

Nestled in the picturesque Heidlandsweg 100, Winsen/Borstel, the Sportanlage "Am Habichtshorst" serves as both the starting and finishing point for this scenic race. The course is a gentle loop of 20.3 kilometers that takes runners through flat forest paths, some of which are paved to accommodate varying terrain preferences.
Participants have the option to run the full distance or complete two laps on the shorter 10.8 kilometer track, allowing them flexibility in their training and race strategy. This unique setup offers a chance for both casual joggers and seasoned runners to enjoy the event at their own pace while experiencing the beauty of the surrounding woods.
Upon registration before October 18, 2026, all participants receive personalized bibs with embedded transponders for accurate timing throughout the race. These numbers can be kept by runners as a memento from this memorable day.
For younger athletes looking to join in on the fun, several children’s races are held directly at the sports facility, ensuring everyone has an opportunity to participate and enjoy the event's atmosphere.
Results will be published online shortly after the race concludes, allowing participants to review their performance and celebrate their achievements. The venue also offers a DLV-Volkslaufstempel for those interested in collecting stamps from various races across Germany.
Payment options are flexible, with support for PayPal, credit cards, direct debit, or bank transfer, ensuring that runners can easily secure their spot on the starting line regardless of payment preference.
The event promises not only an enjoyable run but also a day filled with community spirit and natural beauty. Whether you're aiming to set personal bests or simply enjoy the scenic route, this race offers something unique for every runner.
