Frequently asked questions about the run

What are the road conditions like?

Part of the route follows unpaved/natural forest paths. Please ensure you have sure-footedness and suitable footwear.

Will there be medals, certificates and an awards ceremony?

Yes – there are no losers at the Stolberger Schloss-Lauf: every participant receives a finisher’s medal and can print out a certificate online afterwards. The prize-giving ceremony, with trophies for the top finishers, will take place shortly after the races at Stolberg Castle. Your finish will also be filmed and can be viewed online afterwards using your race number.

The Bambini Run is not a competitive event, but of course no one goes away empty-handed: every child receives a finisher’s medal and a certificate as a memento of their run on the castle terrace.

How does the charity aspect work?

By taking part, you’ll automatically be supporting a local project: between €5 and €10 is already included in the entry fee.
