St Nicholas Run

Runners can test their form over the 10 kilometre distance - there is also a 5 km fun run for beginners. At the eighteenth edition, around 1200 participants are expected in the Olympic Park - both ambitious runners and recreational athletes - and of course many Father Christmases, who are especially welcome! 

As in the previous season: the starting documents will be collected in the warm Olympic swimming hall (top right side entrance) - many runners are already familiar with this option from previous years. The start is in the immediate vicinity on Hans-Jochen-Vogel Platz (formerly Coubertinplatz). The route of the 5 km loop leads from the centre of the Olympic Park once around the grounds of the central university sports facility, then past the BMW World and the Sealife. Finally, you run along the Olympic Lake and the Olympic Hill towards the Olympic Stadium before reaching the finish line at Hans-Jochen-Vogel Platz. All pre-registered participants will receive a souvenir gift, and at the finish there will be drinks from Xenofit and a bar serving Erdinger Alkoholfrei. Traditionally, there is a buffet with gingerbread and stollen.

For the little runners, there will be a children's and school run over 500 metres and 1.6 km respectively. And St Nicholas is coming!
