24th Everstener Brunnenlauf

The Everstener Brunnenlauf is the early summer classic of the Oldenburg running scene. Nestled in the Eversten district and the adjacent Everstener Holz, the run combines proximity to the city, forest atmosphere, and a family-friendly concept.

Start at Everstener Brunnen

The start and finish line is the Everstener Brunnen – the run's namesake landmark on Wienstraße / Marktplatz Eversten. The market square transforms into the competition and festival zone, with registration, catering, and award ceremony areas.

700-year-old Everstener Holz

The route leads through the Everstener Holz, a historic forest area with about 700 years of history. This forest backdrop makes the run attractive: cool air, shady paths, and the special character of an old forest.

Four Distances

• 2 km: Taster run for beginners and families
• 2.4 km: Schoolchildren's distance, designed for class start groups

Around 3,000 Participants, including 1,400 Schoolchildren

With around 3,000 participants, the Brunnenlauf is one of Oldenburg's most attended fun runs. The high proportion of schoolchildren – about 1,400 – is noteworthy, making the run a true major school sports event.

Lauftreff Eversten as Organizer
