ATG-Winterlauf, Aachen 2016
One of the most popular runsportevents in my hometown and at the same time almost the end of the sportsyear is the ATG Winterlauf. We, the Lustlauf - Mein Verein e.V., take part on this 18km (~11,2 miles) run from the old to the new clubhouse of the ATG. This event is held every year in the middle of december.
The track is a mixture of street- and field run with some trail parts. The great thing is, that it isn't a round. We travel by buses to the start point. Once you sit in the bus there is no backing out! You have to run! As you can imagine, it's a bit special. Further it is in the wintertime. It's cold, mostly wet and if you are lucky everything is white because of the snow.
I like to run in the winter. Okay, I like it in every season: summer, winter, spring and autumn. But in the winter the air is extra fresh! You breathe cold air extra deep. It feels great. And the look of the nature: white of snow, sleepy quiet and the special blue daylight. I love it!It’s a good and popular event!
