About: Fun run

An Entity of Type: sports event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A fun run is a friendly race that involves either road running or cross country running with participants taking part for their own enjoyment rather than competition. A fun run will usually be held to raise funds for a charity, with sponsors providing the revenue to cover organisational costs. Fun runs can include novelty categories, such as wearing costumes, and age categories for child, teen, and mature. Fun runs can also be included as a side event to a marathon or other more serious races. Motorcycle, snowmobile, and other motorized vehicle events are also sometimes categorized as "fun runs". One of the biggest annual fun runs in Europe is "la Cursa El Corte Inglés" in Barcelona with about 55,000 participants.

dbo:abstract
  • Ein Volkslauf ist eine Laufsport-Veranstaltung des Breitensports. Volksläufe werden in der Regel über Distanzen von 5 km bis zur Marathonlaufdistanz (42,195 km) ausgetragen. Die Strecke eines Volkslaufes kann auf Straßen, Park- und Spazierwegen oder Waldwegen verlaufen oder auf einer Kombination dieser Bodenbeläge. Im Gegensatz zu reinen „Fun-Läufen“ werden bei Volksläufen meist die Laufzeiten der Teilnehmer ermittelt und Ergebnislisten mit Platzierungen erstellt. Oft werden für das Erreichen des Ziels Urkunden ausgestellt und Medaillen ausgegeben. Dennoch stehen meist der Laufspaß, die Freude an der persönlichen Leistung durch das Bewältigen einer Strecke und die Popularisierung des Laufsports im Vordergrund. (de)
