Five-lake run: anniversary with over 3400 enthusiastic participants!

Schwerin, Deutschland - On July 5, the five-lake run took place in Schwerin, an event that this time attracted around 3,400 running sports enthusiasts from numerous countries. The participants came from Denmark, the USA, Norway, Ireland, England, France, the Netherlands and Switzerland, which underlines the international dimension of the event. This great response shows that the event is very popular and acts as a real joint campaign for runners and spectators.

starting shot for the different distances was at 8:30 a.m. from Bertha-Klingberg-Platz on the idyllic Lake of Schwerin. Five categories were offered: the nautical mile, 10 km, half marathon (21.1 km) and walking. The 10 km distance, which recorded the strongest influx with 976 runners, was particularly popular. Moritz Fass secured victory on this route in under 40 minutes. The event was also supported by over 200 helpers who ensured that everything went smoothly.

special participants

The field of participants was mixed, and the age of the participants was also impressed: the oldest participant in the half marathon was the 87-year-old Maria-Luise Klugs from Hanover. The 87-year-old Gert Kleinschmidt from Dessau set a great record on the 10 km distance. Such stories make the five-lake run so special.

The nautical mile for children up to 12 years also had a great participation with 312 participants. Among the participants were also groups, such as a 40-person group of Ricarda Saffan and her colleague Ronny von Trolli in Hagenow, and three brothers from Ludwigslust, who described the run as their home run. Some relatives had even brought name signs to cheer on the ongoing, which reinforced the family atmosphere.

health and security

The participants were prepared for any risks both by excluding liability and by viewing the organizer's security requirements. The participants had to confirm that they were physically healthy and sufficiently trained. In the run-up to the run, it was important that the runners recognize the new health risk survey from the German Athletics Association. This initiative is intended to help minimize the dangers when running and to raise awareness of preventive health care. Appropriate information is evaluated by the sports medical department of the Humboldt University in Berlin.

Another element that caused a conversation was the prerequisite that the personal start number could not be passed on to other people in order to avoid disqualifications and bans in the future. It was also pointed out that photos and videos from participants can be used for public relations without remuneration.

For everyone who wanted to take part in the five-lake run, the registration included the recognition of the organizer's tender, nor that no claims against the organizer, sponsors or representatives of the city of Schwerin could be asserted. In addition to all the sporting performance and the joy of running, the legal framework is also important.

Overall, the five-lake run was an impressive example of the strong commitment of runners, helpers and spectators. With a colorful supporting program and a variety of running categories, the event shows that running connects- across country and generation borders. The results of all participants are now available and you can be excited to see what the next edition of this impressive event will bring.
