Hermannslauf

Description

The Hermannslauf is an annual long-distance road and trail race in Germany that runs from Detmold to Bielefeld through the Teutoburg Forest. It is one of the best-known running events in the region and is especially noted for its demanding, hilly course of about 31 kilometers. This dataset contains historical information on editions of the race, including the date, temperature, and winning times for men and women.

From 1972 to 1976, the course followed the actual Hermannsweg for 30.4 kilometers, and in 1977 the first 13 kilometers were moved to a parallel route. Since 2005, the total course length has been 31.1 kilometers; until 2004, it was 30.6 kilometers. In 2020, the Hermannslauf was canceled due to the pandemic, and for the same reason, in 2021 it was exceptionally moved from April to October.
