Rennsteiglauf

In the headline I’m linking to the event website, but this blurb below is from the English Wikipedia entry:

Since 1973, the race has taken place annually in May. It used to be the biggest popular sport event in East Germany, and is still one of the biggest ultramarathons in Europe, attracting more than 10,000 participants, including those for other distances.

I love learning about these events that have been going on for decades, run by volunteers, drawing a huge crowd without any of the fuss and attention it deserves. More of this, please.
