A Volkslauf for Everyone

Handewitt is a municipality with just under 11,000 inhabitants in the Schleswig-Flensburg district, directly on the Danish border and adjacent to the city of Flensburg. The Handewitter Sommerlauf, held annually since 2012, has become one of the most popular running events in northern Schleswig-Holstein. Its character: inclusive, family-friendly, athletically demanding, yet accessible.

The Range of Distances

What makes the run special is the variety of distances. From the 400-meter Bambini run for the little ones, to 2.5 kilometers for beginners, 5 kilometers for running or Nordic walking, 10 kilometers for ambitious hobby athletes, up to the full half marathon — plus a half marathon as a two-person relay. There is also a wheelchair race, making the event inclusive. Practically everyone can find a suitable distance here.

Course and Topography

The courses are DLV-measured and thus recognized for official best times. The topography is predominantly flat — Schleswig-Holstein doesn't offer much in terms of elevation, which turns the course into a fast one. It's also suitable for beginners who want to set their first half marathon personal best under uncomplicated conditions.

Triple Sportevents and the Schleswig-Holstein Running Trio

The organizer is Triple Sportevents — a regional sports agency that organizes several running and triathlon events in northern Schleswig-Holstein. In addition to the Handewitter Sommerlauf, the Flensburg City Run (in March) and the Wanderup Triathlon (in August) are part of their annual program. Visitors to the Sommerlauf immerse themselves in an established running community where athletes from Flensburg, Schleswig, the surrounding area, and Danish Southern Jutland come together.
