Heideköniginnenpokal

The Heide Queen's Cup (HeiPo) in Amelinghausen is a traditional community run that will take place for the 31st time in 2026 as part of the Heideblütenfest week. The challenging courses lead through scenic passages, including along Lake Lopau. The race attracts many participants and is a staple of regional running events.

The Amelinghausen Running Group meets regularly on Mondays and Wednesdays to run together. There is also a beginner's course that gradually introduces newcomers to running. The event is part of a lively running community with participation in many community and marathon runs across Germany. The race takes place in August, typically with summer weather around 25°C, with possible rain. There are also children's runs and other community races during the festival week.
