Schwerin mobilizes: Over 3,400 registrations for the Five Lakes Run!

In Schwerin it will soon be: “Ready, set, go!” The eagerly awaited Five Lakes Run will take place on July 5, 2025, and preparations are in full swing. The organizer, the Schweriner Fünf-Seen-Lauf e.V., can offer some good news right from the start: over 3,400 registrations have already been received. For comparison: Last year there were 2,882 participants. A significant increase that shows that the run is very popular and that enthusiasm for this event is growing in the region. [Schwerin Lokal](https:// Schwerin-lokal.de/fuenf-seen-lauf-Schwerin-2025/) reports that the wide range of distances from children's races to half marathons certainly contributes to this.

The run offers a variety of distances, including the popular dm children's run, the nautical mile of around 1.8 km, as well as 5 km, 10 km and 15 km runs. What is particularly exciting is the re-evaluation for the combined classification between the 10 km WEMAG run and the half marathon, which also represents a great opportunity for ambitious runners. The start of the HAPAK half marathon is set at 10:45 a.m. Team spirit is also rewarded, as the family ranking, in which three or more relatives compete, and the company ranking, in which the best results are added together, provide additional incentive.

Registration options and meals

A small reminder for all those who have not yet registered: The registration deadline is July 1, 2025. However, late registrations are also possible on site on July 4, 2025. Children under 12 receive a medal and a certificate at the sea mile - a nice incentive for the little ones! The starting documents will be handed out on July 4, 2025 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Demmlersaal of the town hall. The participants will be well catered for: a caterer will offer pea stew and non-alcoholic drinks free of charge, and an open-air shower will also be provided at the finish.

Such large running events are very popular in Germany. As Statista shows, the number of running events and participants is high every year. This speaks for a clear trend: running is not only healthy, but also a social event that brings people together and promotes community. Last year, the New Year's Eve run in Schwerin also set a record number of participants with 1,200 starters. This impressively shows the dynamics and growing popularity of such events in the region. By the way, the certificates from the last event could not be handed out immediately due to the high number of participants - participants could access them online and print them out themselves. This way you will remember the experience even after the run!

For anyone interested, there is detailed information and updates about the Five Lakes Run as well as registration on the official website: Five Lakes Run. So if you're looking forward to a sporting highlight in Schwerin, you should register now and become part of this great event!
