| Description: | The Welterbelauf Zollverein offers various running competitions on the UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein site in Essen, Germany. Participants can choose from different distances and categories, including main runs, relay races, walking, Nordic walking, youth runs, and children's runs. The event promotes athletic participation for all, including Special Olympics athletes and a wheelchair demo run. The courses lead through the impressive industrial backdrop of the Zollverein Coal Mine and Coking Plant.
The 10 km Main Run is a running competition on the RAG Montan Immobilien grounds at the Zollverein coking plant. The route largely follows the Ringpromenade, past the double-trestle headframe, the SANAA building, over the Zollverein spoil tip, and the former shaft system 1/2/8. The route is officially measured by the DLV and is eligible for best lists. |
