About the race
In the 1970s, there weren't many marathon runs. However, a look into the club archives of TSV Wellen shows that runners were already competing in the marathon distance in 1971. According to Wikipedia, the "Rund um Wellen" run is the fourth oldest marathon in Germany. We are a little proud of that. You can take a look back in the press articles.
Today, we place great importance on changing only as much as safety requires, and only as much as the Marathon Rund um Wellen remains as it is: family-friendly, challenging, and a tiny bit stuck in time.
In the future, not too much should change. We hope every year for the many volunteers who are ready to make the race possible on four routes. Without the support of half the village, including the Wellen Volunteer Fire Department, this would not be possible.
