THE DREAM
This race is defined by its varied course through nature.
Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.
Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.
Take it slow with the finish still in you,
and meet the city all over again.
From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.
“That gave me a good boost.”
At the Buchholzer Bahndammlauf 10 km, running with a clubmate provided an early boost; after 6 km, the runner went alone, keeping another runner ahead in sight. The final two kilometers dragged, but a strong finishing straight brought a satisfying return after a long racing break.
