Schwerin (Germany), Saturday 7 May 2016
Held annually on a Saturday night in early May, the Schweriner Nachtlauf attracts approximately 1,000 participants.
Entrants can choose to run either one lap (5km), two laps (10km), three laps (15km) or four laps (20km) of a stunningly scenic course through Schwerin, an old city of about 100,000 people, situated in a delightful lakeland region in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in northern Germany.
The race takes the runners through Schwerin's impressive Altstadt, around two lakes, across the Schlossinsel (a little island that is home to one of Germany's most beautiful castles) and through the baroque Schlossgarten.
