Altendorf-Ersdorfer Obstmeilenlauf

The Altendorf-Ersdorfer Fruit Mile Run is a traditional community race that has been held annually since 1995 on the last Saturday in October. The event offers races for all age and performance levels, including the Small Fruit Mile (5.3 km), the Large Fruit Mile (9.6 km), and the Mega Mile (16 km). The course runs through the scenic fruit orchards of Altendorf-Ersdorf and is especially popular for the fresh apples at the finish line and the fruit baskets for the winners. There are also special races for children over 400 m and 1000 m. The run is a social event that combines running with nature experience and community spirit.

The event always takes place on the last Saturday in October. Runners regularly meet for training in the Altendorf-Ersdorf forest. Prizes for the winners include fully stocked fruit baskets, and fresh apples are handed out at the finish. The event features 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's races, held annually in October in Meckenheim.
