Neustadt in Holstein (Germany), Sunday 5 August 2012

The Europalauf in Germany's northernmost state of Schleswig-Holstein offers a half marathon, a 7.5-kilometre route for runners and nordic walkers, and a kids' run.

Start and finish are in the town of Neustadt in Holstein, situated in a popular summer holiday region in the Bay of Lübeck on the Baltic coast.

The half marathon is an undulating and very scenic run on a mix of asphalt and dirt roads, cycleways and footpaths. Parts of the route are run on the beach promenade.
