Germany's only charity run for cystic fibrosis on a North Sea island
Amrum—the second-largest North Frisian island in the district of Nordfriesland (state of Schleswig-Holstein)—is the venue for an extraordinary charity run. The Amrumer Mukolauf combines athletic challenge with a strong social cause: it collects donations for the German Cystic Fibrosis Association e.V. (Cystic Fibrosis) and is the only charity event of its kind on a German North Sea island.
Start and finish is the Fachklinik Satteldüne in Nebel-Süddorf—a well-known rehabilitation clinic for children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis, asthma, and other respiratory diseases. Three distances are available:
There are refreshment stations along the route; changing rooms, luggage storage, showers, and massages for long-distance runners are available at the clinic.
The run is embedded in the Amrumer Pentecost Event—in addition to the main sporting event, there is an accompanying program with performances by local and regional groups such as the popular Mädchen-Musikzug Neumünster, live music in the evening, children's award ceremonies, and a grand main award ceremony. The Pentecost festival on the weekend attracts numerous tourists to the island.
With every registration and every fundraising initiative, donations go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Association e.V. The run has been held annually at Pentecost since the early 2000s and is a firm fixture in Amrum's event calendar—alongside Biikebrennen, harbour festivals, and open-air cultural evenings.
On Saturday, May 23, 2026, Amrum calls for the 23rd Amrumer Mukolauf. Start and finish: Fachklinik Satteldüne in Nebel-Süddorf. Registration runs in the morning from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM directly on-site.
Three distances are available—from the ambitious island circuit of 26.5 km to the family-friendly loop of 4.5 km. Those who prefer a less strenuous activity can complete the longer distances as walkers. Accompanying the run is the Amrumer Pentecost Event with live music and a performance by the Mädchen-Musikzug Neumünster.
