THE DREAM

About Roruper Abendlauf — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

A summer evening event in the village of Rorup, Dülmen, in Germany's Münsterland.

With the half marathon and the 10km as the main events, all ages run together — from the kids' school run to the farmers' run for ages 4 and under.

The stadium-style finish after one final lap of the track is the highlight of this Friday-night village festival.

Thomas PierRan in 2019
“I could accelerate a little in the second half, but stayed cautious.”

Thomas kept a steady effort in the 2019 Roruper Abendlauf 10km, accelerating slightly late on. Breathing was difficult over the final 2km, but he rallied before finish and decided to add threshold training for his next race.
