Important information for participants

A small reminder: Each participant should bring their own stick with a small lamp. Alternatively, glow sticks can be purchased on site. And if you're particularly creative, you can bring your own lanterns with real candles - but at your own risk! For those who don't have a lantern, the free distribution of Hansa lanterns will certainly provide a great opportunity.

Parking is also available, but limited. If you don't want to use the club parking lot for 5 euros, you can use the free park-and-ride parking lot at Barnstorfer Ring/Groß Schwaßer Weg. From there it's about a 20-minute walk back to the stadium.

Participation is free, which makes the lantern run a perfect family outing. So, go ahead and experience the magical atmosphere! Enjoy a colorful evening full of lights and community in Rostock, like Northern Courier reported.
