Lake Run – SSV Niedersonthofen

Seelauf – SSV Niedersonthofen (also listed as the 37. Lauf um den Niedersonthofner See) is an annual community road race held around the Niedersonthofner See organised by Ski- und Sportverein Niedersonthofen e. V. The event comprises several age-group races on a looped course following asphalt and firm paths beside the lake, with the main race attracting adult competitors and separate Schüler- und Jugendlauf for school-age and youth athletes. The organiser publishes timetables, category rules and registration details on the event pages and requires parental consent for younger entrants.

The race day features on-site number pick-up from midday, participant refreshments and a public catering area whose proceeds support the club, plus a large tombola for Hauptlauf entrants and awards ceremonies for class winners. Photos are published online with participants consenting at registration, finish lists are posted and the Hauptlauf counts towards the Laufsport Saukel Cup standings. The event enforces safety and eligibility rules, including a prohibition on spiked shoes and health requirements for competitors.
