Paderborn (Germany), Friday 11 November 2016
The first Paderborner Martinslauf is to be held on this year's Saint Martin's Day, which is celebrated every year on 11 November in Germany and many other countries around the world.
Entrants can choose to run either three laps (6km) or five laps (10km) through the city centre of Paderborn, a traditionally catholic city of about 150,000 residents in the Westfalen (Westphalia) region.
The races begin and end on the pretty Markt square, near two of Paderborn's best sights — the 12th-century Gaukirche (pictured) and the imposing Dom (Cathedral).
The route is a varied and challenging 2km-long loop that features some stairs and narrow sections. It passes many historic buildings as well as some of the 200 springs that surface in the city to form the 4km-long Pader, Germany's shortest river. Hence the name: Paderborn is the city where the Pader is born.
