Heiligenhafen (Germany), Friday 28 July 2017

This Mitternachtslauf (‘Midnight Run’) draws runners from all over Germany and beyond to the small town of Heiligenhafen, a popular summer holiday destination on the Baltic Sea coast in Germany's northernmost state of Schleswig-Holstein.

The route is 10 kilometres long. The first half of the course is very undulating but the second half is mostly flat.

Starting and finishing on Heiligenhafen's athletics track, the race takes the runners through the historic town centre, through residential areas, past the marina, along the beach promenade and around the Binnensee lagoon.

Last year, Dennis Mehlfeld defended his title in a time of 33 minutes 20 seconds, leading a field of 671 midnight runners across the finish line. Ludmilla Bossmann was the fastest woman in 41 minutes 38 seconds. The time limit to finish the 10k race is 90 minutes.
