KIDS-Graf / MINI-Graf at the County Run

The County Run has been offering young runners the opportunity to gain their first competitive experiences since 2022 with the children's races MINI-Graf and KIDS-Graf. The 500-meter MINI-Graf is aimed at participants born between 2021 and 2017, while the 1.5-kilometer KIDS-Graf is designed for those born between 2016 and 2012. Both races start at the Hunting Lodge Holte in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock and finish on the same finish straight as the main races, providing the young participants with an authentic competitive experience. The entry fees are fully donated to charitable organizations. Early online registration until mid-August allows for the personalization of the start numbers with the runners' first names. Late registrations are possible on the event weekend at the registration office as well as directly at the start. These children's races not only promote athletic talent but also strengthen the sense of community and connection to the regional running culture.
