The track signage is in place, the temperatures are summery and the running shoes are laced up. Everything is prepared for this year's Lousberglauf. On July 5, 2023, 2,000 runners are once again eagerly awaiting the starting signal for the 5,555-meter course across the Lousberg.

To have taken part in the Lousberg Run once is an absolute must for many Aachen students before they complete their studies. The 5,555-meter circuit around Aachen's Teufelsberg, with its steep inclines and declines, holds a challenge even for experienced runners. The exciting finale of the NRW Unilauf Cup also takes place during the Lousberglauf.

This makes it exciting on the course every year. Just last year Esther Jacobitz set a new course record for women. She ran the course in a record time of 18:40 minutes. In the men's race, Hamid Maaziz has held the record since 2012 with a time of 16:42 minutes. So it remains exciting to see if the record can be broken again this year.

Elementarily important in the planning are volunteers. They help out energetically every year and thus enable the event to run smoothly.

For many years now, the Lousberg Run has been supported by STAWAG. STAWAG provides refreshments at the finish line in the form of water and fruit for the runners. There will also be an own STAWAG running team at the start.

Registration is open until Sunday, July 2 at 8 p.m. on the event website.
