Participants in the Stolberg Castle Run for a good cause

Running for a good cause in the Southern Harz

Charity at the Stolberg Castle Run

At theStolberg Castle Run, every kilometre counts double: you’re running towards your personal goal whilst supporting the region at the same time. When you take part in one of the paid races, a portion of your entry fee automatically goes towards the charity fund.

Depending on the race, between 5 and 10 euros will go towards regional projects in Stolberg and Rottleberode. You don’t need to book anything extra or make an additional donation: your contribution to a good cause is included in the entry fee from the outset.

In this way, the Stolberg Castle Run combines sporting challenges with social engagement. Together, we’re not only getting people moving, but also driving forward important projects for our region.
