After the successful first edition with more than 500 runners in 2018, this year's ISPO Night Run presented by BUFF® was an even success with 650 participants.
A long queue of runners, equipped with headlamps, passed through the Olympic Parkin Munich at temperatures just above the freezing point.
Klaus Dittrich (centre), Chairman and CEO of Messe München: "It is a truely unique experience to run here at night in the Olympic Park." To his left, ultra runner Florian Neuschwander is already standing in the starting blocks. On the right, Marco Kurzdörfer and Florian Lang from Team FitterTec.
Die Strecke durch den Olympia Park war eine Herausforderung: die Läufer mussten sich auf Nässe und Glätte einstellen.
For the first time, there was a speical children's run as well. The run over a distance of 1.2 kilometers wasn't about winning, but about participating, following the slogan "being there is everything!". Each participant received a medal.
Hier ging es nicht ums gewinnen, sondern es zählte „dabei sein ist alles!“. Jeder Teilnehmer bekam eine Medaille.
Florian Neuschwander was more than one minute ahead of the second placed Marco Kurzdörfer and Florian Lang.

The winner of the 1 Mile Uphill Challenge was Team FitterTec with Lang, Kurzdörfer and team boss Zacharias Wedel. They made all the way from Nuremberg to Munich to take part in the race. In the challenge, the three runners had to run up and down the Olympic mountain twice in a row.
