Adventslauf

The Advent Run in Hamm is a traditional winter race that takes place on officially measured turnaround courses through the Lippeaue nature reserve and the spa park in Bad Hamm. The start and finish are located on the tartan track in the Jahnstadion, creating a pleasant atmosphere for runners of all ages. The event offers two distances, 5 km and 10 km, with net and gross time measurement using a chip. In addition to sporting ambition, charity is also a focus, as a donation is collected for the Hamm hospice support association.

Youth and young adults up to age category U20 receive a 50% discount on the entry fee (excluding donation and deposit). Additionally, a €3.00 deposit is charged for the bib number (refunded upon return) and a €1.00 donation is collected for the Hamm hospice support association. Timing is done with Race Result systems via a chip in the bib number. The timing is capable of official rankings and is forwarded to the DLV association. During the race, headphones, dogs, and baby joggers are prohibited. The award ceremony takes place approximately 45 minutes after the first runner crosses the finish line. Discounted entry is available at the nearby adventure swimming pool "Maximare". The course features timing via Race Result, bib number with chip, award ceremony about 45 minutes after the finish, and entry to Maximare is possible.
