Söltjer Run 2026

The Söltjerlauf is a community charity running event (Söltjerlauf) planned for 13 June 2026 in Bad Münder am Deister. It is organised as a four-hour lap event in which participants run as many laps as they can within the allotted time, and it expressly welcomes runners of all ages from children to experienced marathon athletes. The page describes a village-like atmosphere with post-run gatherings and an award ceremony, emphasising participation and local engagement rather than elite competition. The organising team presents the event as inclusive and family-friendly, encouraging lingering at the site after the run.

The 2026 edition continues the event's charity focus: sponsors Sparkasse Hameln-Weserbergland and ArdaghGlass will donate €2 for every completed lap up to a cap of €5,000 per beneficiary, with proceeds shared by local causes. Named beneficiaries for 2026 include Sozialraum AG e.V. and the VfB Eimbeckhausen athletics youth, and the page notes historical fundraising totalling €74,757. The event features on-site catering and local volunteer support, and historically has attracted up to around 800 participants, underlining its community reach and fundraising impact.
