The 8th #ZeroHungerRun in Bonn
For the eighth time in Bonn, it's time to lace up your running shoes and set an example together! On September 28 from 10 am, the #ZeroHungerRun will start along the beautiful Rheinaue. You have the choice of running 5 or 10 kilometers – alone, in a team, with friends, colleagues or family. Every step counts in the joint fight against world hunger.
Even though the climate crisis has had little impact on Bonn so far, its global consequences are impossible to overlook. In many parts of the world, climate change is already worsening the problem of hunger. That’s why together with the city of Bonn, we are advocating for SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) No. 2 of the United Nations – zero hunger for the world, come rain or shine.
Sign up now and set an example!
#ZeroHungerRun Bonn 2025 in 5 steps
1. Where, when and which route?
Ambitious or relaxed - you decide. You can choose between the 5km run or the 10km route, in both variants you run the circuit through Bonn's Rheinaue. If you choose the 10km route, you will have to complete the loop twice. The 5km run is also open for walking this year. If you prefer to run in a team, you can complete the 10km relay, in which four of you must cover 2.5km each. For the younger runners, up to the age of 7, there is also the #ZeroHungerRun Kids over 400m.
Start times:
Kids: 10:00 am
5km: 11:00 am
10km: 12:30 pm
2. Register and donate
Participation in the #ZeroHungerRun is free of charge. However, if you take part in the run, we’d love for you to donate, which will go directly to projects against hunger and poverty. Every contribution helps to improve people’s lives in our project countries.
3. How to get there
The start and finish area are located at the Japanese Garden in the Rheinaue. It is easy to reach by bike, on foot or by public transport. From Bonn main station, you can take bus lines 610 and 611 to the Johanniter-Krankenhaus stop or take subway line 66 to the Rheinaue stop.
4. Starting documents – where to pick them up
You can pick up your starting documents on Friday, September 26, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday, September 27, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Absolute Run Laufladen (Bonngasse 13A, 53111 Bonn). You can also pick them up on the day of the event, from 9 a.m. until half an hour before the start of the respective run, in the “Startnummernausgabe” tent.
5. Warm-up and off you go
Before you set off on your run, a warm-up together will get you in the right mood. Our partner Original Bootcamp will get you going with a relaxed warm-up and provide the right motivation. We wish you lots of fun and success. Give it your all for #ZeroHunger!

How your charity run makes an impact
Hunger is one of the greatest injustices of our time and should not be a fate. Yet it still affects 733 million people worldwide. Our goal is clear: #ZeroHunger by 2030. We are committed to a world in which every person has the chance to a self-determined life in dignity and without hunger.
With your donation, you make exactly that possible. The proceeds of the #ZeroHungerRun will go specifically to sustainable projects that help where the need is greatest. But your contribution does even more: it opens doors to additional funding from public donors such as the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the European Union (EU) or the Federal Foreign Office (AA). Every euro donated can be quadrupled and make an even greater difference in the fight against hunger and poverty
Every donation counts – you can make a difference
