4. Wassermühlen-Ultra Rulle

The Garmin Water Mill Run is set to take place at the picturesque Gaststätte Zur Mühle in Wallenhorst, located along Im Nettetal 4. Participants are advised to use parking spaces near the street for easy access and convenience on race day.
Starting directly from the parking area, runners will head towards the restaurant as they embark on a challenging yet rewarding journey through varied terrain. The event kicks off at 8:00 AM sharp with a strict time limit of eight hours in place. A modest entry fee of €5 is collected at registration on-site.
The race features an adjusted course this year, boasting more forested paths and proximity to babbling streams while reducing asphalt sections for a total distance of approximately 46.8 kilometers over six laps. Competitors can opt for the half marathon variant covering three rounds or about 23.4 kilometers. Both distances are eligible for DUV (Deutsche Ultramarathon-Verband) listing, enhancing their appeal to serious runners and ultrarunners alike.
Given that the course is not marked, participants must rely on clear directions from race organizers. The route winds through natural areas where respecting fellow trail users such as hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders is crucial due to limited traffic control measures in place.
Bathroom facilities are not available along the circuit; therefore, runners should come prepared with their own hydration and nutrition supplies for each lap since aid stations will be absent.
Registration opens until 6 PM on the day prior to the event if space allows. Interested participants can sign up through race result services or by contacting Andreas Kretzschmar at [email protected].
Competitors must ensure they are physically prepared for their chosen distance and agree to adhere strictly to all rules set forth, including penalties for littering or cutting corners during the run.
Participants should note that race conditions will be communicated in detail one week before the event date so stay tuned for any last-minute updates. As with many trail runs, there is an inherent risk involved which runners acknowledge by participating and agree not to hold organizers responsible for injuries sustained or personal belongings lost during the course of the competition.
This unique running experience offers a blend of natural beauty and technical challenges that will test even seasoned athletes while providing unforgettable moments amidst Germany's scenic landscapes.
