A hat-trick of records: The Würzburg Residence Race

During the Würzburg Residence Race in 2015, a record was set before the race had even begun. For the first time ever, more than 8,000 runners took their marks at the starting line and even defied the unexpected snowstorm – another first in the history of the race. The Residence Race also holds two other records: not only is it the fastest 10-kilometre race in Germany but also the largest running event for school and Kindergarten children in the country. In the most recent event, 4,000 young people took part.
