Race twenty begins on Sunday.
The 20th edition of the Jücht Run, a popular annual event in the picturesque town of Himmelgeist, is set to take place on Sunday, May 11th. However, details about the route, schedule, and registration information for this year's event are not widely available online.
The event, organised by the Himmelgeist 1100 association, promises a fun-filled day of running for participants of all ages. The Jücht Run includes a 10-kilometer run, a 5.4-kilometer route, a 1.4-kilometer children's run, and a 600-meter toddler run.
The parish garden serves as the central meeting point for the event, with the start of the Jücht Run located near Kölner Weg/Nikolausstraße, and the finish at Nikolausstraße/Alt Himmelgeist. The course runs through the Jücht on roads, paths, fields, and forests, featuring a mix of asphalt, gravel, and wood chip surfaces.

The children's run (grades 2010-2017) follows at 1:15 pm, also with an entry fee of 5 euros. The main event, the 10 km run, starts at 11 am, with an entry fee of 18 euros.
