Paderborner Martinslauf
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Martinslauf
In 2025, the Paderborner Martinslauf once again saw a completely sold-out field of participants. In cool November temperatures, the participants ran their laps through an illuminated Old Town, lit by hundreds of lights and torches along the circuit.
The multi-lap structure once again created an unusually good spectator atmosphere: residents and relatives of the runners stood along the route, cheering multiple times per run. The run is celebrated in Paderborn not as a competition, but as a collective city event.
