The Ratzeburger Adventslauf is a traditional Volkslauf featuring three race options: a 26 km course circling the Großer Ratzburger See, a 7.5 km route around the Küchensee, and a 1.5 km children’s run through town and lakeshore. The course is mixed: about 80 % on forest trails and gravel paths, the rest on asphalt, with some undulating terrain. It begins from the old town, with both the 26 km and 7.5 km starting together, and the children’s run slightly earlier. Support includes hydration points along the longer routes and finish-line refreshments. The event is known for its scenic lake views, festive early-winter atmosphere, and being accessible to runners of many levels.
Organized by Ratzeburger Sport Verein 1862 e.V., the 26 km run takes place on Saturday, 30 November 2025, in Ratzeburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, circling the larger Großer Ratzburger See lake. It features mostly natural terrain (forest paths and gravel) with a scenic lakeside route that reflects both regional culture and tradition.
Also hosted by Ratzeburger Sport Verein 1862 e.V. on 30 November 2025, the ~7.3 km route around the Küchensee is located in Ratzeburg, Germany, providing a shorter lakeside loop that mixes trails and paved sections. It’s ideal for runners seeking a less demanding course but still a taste of the event’s forested charm.
