Run Events 2023

July 23rd – Barefoot workshop at the festival along the Main promenade
The Zukunftspavillon is realized by the network „Nachhaltigkeit lernen in Frankfurt“ and „Umweltlernen in Frankfurt“ in cooperation with the city of Frankfurt.

To the west of Eiserner Steg, a lively place is being created for this purpose, with information booths, lectures and discussions about a sustainable way of life in Frankfurt and the redesign of the Main Quay. The Main embankment will thus become a real laboratory for the future of the city.
We from Tarahumara Fans e. V. will also be there with our pavilion! Besides information about our project “Nascente Viva” and information material about barefoot running we have again planned barefoot workshop for you:
At 2:15, 3:45 and 4:45 p.m. a professional barefoot running coach will show you how to walk and run barefoot. Come by and just try it out on a short track – the track is suitable for children and adults.

Sunday, July 30 –Barefoot hike in the Rheingau region
with our professional barefoot runner Nils.

What awaits you:
On this barefoot-suitable hike, we’ll circle the village of Ransel in the Rheingau, following three gurgling streams, deep in the forest. On natural forest paths, trails and meadows we overcome 330 meters of altitude.
The round is about 13 km long, but if necessary there is twice a possibility for the shortcut 🙂 Afterwards we drive in 30 minutes to Geisenheim
on the Rhine, between Rüdesheim and Oestrich-Winkel, to finish the day in the “Zwei und Zwanzig” to celebrate the day with vegan food.

Meeting point + departure: 9:00 am, Ohmstr. 50, 60486 Frankfurt (Machado). Of course you can also arrive by yourselves. We will start in Ransel at 10:30 a.m. Please indicate in your registration if you want to start independently or together with us from Frankfurt. Details will follow after registration.
