Lions Monopteros Run in the English Garden

Big charity run for everyone in aid of Munich’s disabled sports

Two weeks before the Munich Marathon (on the middle Wiesn weekend), the 21th Lions Monopteros Run will take place on Sunday, September 22, 2024 (date for 2024 is not yet fixed).

The focus here is on the good cause: the net proceeds from the Monopteros Run are used to support the sporting care and activities of children and young people from the following disabled sports departments: PSV München, USC München, TSV Forstenried and TSV Milbertshofen. It is organized by volunteer organizations and helpers.

The special feature of this sporting event is its inclusive character: a whole range of disabled athletes are taking part. They come from associations that are actively supported by the “Hilfswerk des Lions Club München Alt-Schwabing e.V.”. The Lions Club is also the organizer of the running event.

The basic idea of this event is to give runners who are training for the marathon and who have physical limitations runners training for the marathon and to be motivated by their fellow runners for their next big goal.

Harald Lill, organizer and co-founder of the Lions Club Munich Alt-Schwabing, gives final instructions.

At a glance:

• We start together at 9.00 a.m. at the Chinese Tower. You can also hand in your bags there for storage
• When: Sunday, September 25, 2022
• The finish is at approx. 12:30 pm

• A doctor will probably be available in the start/finish area for emergencies
