Fun run around the Zwischenahner Meer — May 9, 2026
About Meerlauf Bad Zwischenahn
Running by the third-largest lake in Lower Saxony
Since its premiere, the Meerlauf Bad Zwischenahn has become a fixed date in the North German running calendar. The routes lead over the promenades and paths around the Zwischenahner Meer — flat, fast, and with a view of one of the region's most beautiful water landscapes. The organizer is Meerlauf Bad Zwischenahn e.V.
12th Edition on May 9, 2026
The 12th edition takes place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, starting at 2:30 PM. For the first time, the newly opened stadium at Eyhauser Allee 9c serves as the start and finish arena — a significant upgrade for athletes and spectators, with a grandstand, catering, and competition atmosphere. The routes cover classic distances around the lake.
Routes and Program
The event offers the proven distances for adults and an extensive children's and youth area. Aid stations along the route, timing, finisher refreshments, and award ceremonies are standard. An accompanying program in the stadium ensures a good atmosphere between the starts.
Bad Zwischenahn — Running Area with Character
The Zwischenahner Meer offers one of the most beautiful lakeside running areas in Lower Saxony. Those who combine the Meerlauf with a weekend experience Bad Zwischenahn as a spa town with a Wandelhalle (promenade hall), promenade, and Park der Gärten (Park of Gardens).
