Altendorf-Ersdorfer Obstmeilenlauf

The Altendorf-Ersdorf Orchard Mile Run is a traditional fun run that has taken place every year since 1995 on the last Saturday in October. The event offers races for all ages and ability levels, including the Little Orchard Mile (5.3 km), the Big Orchard Mile (9.6 km) and the Mega Mile (16 km). The course runs through the picturesque orchards of Altendorf-Ersdorf and is especially popular for the fresh apples at the finish and the fruit baskets awarded to the winners. There are also special children’s races over 400 m and 1,000 m. The run is a sociable event that combines running with nature and a sense of community.

The event is always held on the last Saturday in October. The runners meet regularly for training in the Altendorf-Ersdorf Forest. The winners receive generously filled fruit baskets, and fresh apples are handed out at the finish. The event includes distances of 400 m, 1 km, 3.3 miles, 6 miles and 10 miles. It is a family-friendly event with children’s and toddler races, held annually in October in Meckenheim.
