Fröndenberg runners shine at the 36th women's run in Hamm!
On May 20, 2025, the 36th women's run took place in Hamm under bright sunshine. The event was organized by the Athletes for Peace Association in Hamm and attracted around 100 participants who took on sporting challenges in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The Hammer Women's Run is one of the oldest women's runs in Germany and is held annually on the Saturday before Mother's Day in the Jahnstadion, which has increased its popularity even beyond the borders of Hamm. With the motto “Women at the Start”, the event, which first took place in May 1990, was created as a platform for women to get involved in sport.
Among the participants were two runners from VfL Fröndenberg, who particularly stood out in this year's edition of the run. Christin Camonita impressed with a time of 30:37 minutes over 5 km and secured 3rd place in the W35 age group. Andrea Müller achieved a time of 48:50 minutes on the 10 km route and came first in the W60 age group.
Route and conditions of participation
The run leads from Jahnstadion along the canal through the spa gardens, and the route is often praised by the participants. The 10 km route must be completed twice. To take part, the minimum age is 14 years for the 10 km route and 10 years for the 5 km route. The women's run not only enjoys increasing interest, but also supports charitable organizations. Part of the entry fee goes to the “pro mamma” association, which promotes the early detection, treatment and aftercare of breast diseases.
The event is regularly accompanied by critical voices who express negative forecasts for future women's races. Nevertheless, the steady participation shows that the popularity and importance of women's running in the region remains unbroken, and the opportunity for women of all ages to run without pressure to perform is appreciated by many.
