________
The annual Kö Run is a day of running contests that take place on the spectacular Königsallee. Extremely popular with residents, the event has been held since the late 1980s.
The Düsseldorf Kö-Lauf is unique. The race loops around the canal in the middle of King’s Avenue so participants in various categories can enjoy running alongside glamorous high-end brands and under the foliage of majestic old plane trees.
Routes are available for all ages, from beginners to professional athletes. Distances vary from one kilometre for the disabled, two for youngsters as well as five or ten kilometres. The half marathon for some 2,500 entrants reaches as far as the harbour. A fun event for runners and spectators alike.
