Deutsche qualität? Ja! The German quality never disappoints 🇩🇪, so neither do their races... 😎 Let's not beat around the bush Berlin: here we present you none other than the Buchholzer Bahndamlauf! This race takes place in June, in Buchholz, in Lower Saxony. While the event offers several courses suitable for all levels, from the 5 km walk to the Semi-Marathon, including a 20 km relay 👯♂️, the goal is not performance. No, indeed. In fact, the race supports children with cancer, and for that reason alone, you run with heart ❤️. This charitable spirit made in Germany is a perfect opportunity to push your limits 💪 while contributing to a great cause! 😊
Of course, here we talk about running 🏃♂️, but the Buchholzer Bahndamlauf is also a moment of life and sharing that locals and participants adore 😍. In the land of sausage 🌭, we love to gather around the table! So sure, the course is very smooth 🫨, but after the refreshments and the Pasta party 🍝, you're more likely to be the one rolling 😂. A huge cake buffet 🧁 will await you after the effort, and the refreshment tent will be open-bar.
Even if this sporting event remains an urban race 🏙️, the surroundings offer a beautiful natural spectacle for those willing to see it... 👀 With its Lüneburg Heath Nature Park ⛲️, you'll have the chance to see beautiful landscapes and relax in its 1,077.92 km² of purple land due to the flowers called heather calluna 🪻. For a bit more cultural immersion, there is even a urban art route 🎭 in Buchholz itself! 😍 Take the opportunity to discover the half-timbered architecture, a house-building technique dating back several decades 🏠. And if you're looking to indulge, enjoy local specialties like Grünkohl mit Pinkel (kale and smoked sausage), the famous red fruit dessert Rote Grütze 🍒, and the soft Butterkuchen 🥮, perfect with a good tea 🍵. You will find these dishes in one of the many restaurants in Buchholz or the surrounding areas 🍽️.
