The "5 a day" marathon route crosses the municipality of Welver, strategically located in the transition area between Hamm, Soest, Sauerland and Münsterland. It represents the first permanently signposted "5 a day" marathon route and is designed as a circular route that can be used at any time. This "20-village tour" links the center of Welver with its surrounding twenty districts and reveals the diversity of the regional structure. A functional starting point can be found at the Welver community sports center, which provides the appropriate infrastructure. The seamless signposting along the entire route ensures easy orientation. Additional information boards draw attention to specific regional features and places of interest, while refreshment stops along the way invite you to take a break.
