Overview
Covering 46 kilometers from Coesfeld to Havixbeck along the Baumberger Marathonweg, the Baumberge Ultramarathon featured a cutoff tighter than 73% of 50k races and more generous than 27%. That time limit demanded a minimum pace of 10.4 minutes per kilometer over the 8 hours allowed, leaving runners less breathing room on the clock than most comparable trail events.
The course itself kept physical demands modest, accumulating 400 meters of total elevation gain—an average of 8.7 meters of climb per kilometer. Organised by Ute Karklis and Uwe Laig for an entry fee of 22€, the point-to-point trail route favored steady running rhythm over severe mountain climbing.
