The warm-up starts at 18:00 in the Congress Hall before the starting signal is given at 18:45 on the dot. The course is approx. seven kilometers for runners and approx. three kilometers for walkers. Everyone else cheers at the finish line! We will provide cool drinks at the finish line.
The "Walk & Run" is of course free of charge for all congress participants, as SERVIEW will pay the entry fee of 10 euros. All proceeds will be donated to the Peter Maffay Foundation. If you would also like to do something good for disadvantaged children, you can donate directly here!
There will of course be an award for the three fastest women and the three fastest men, which we will celebrate together in the Congress Hall on Thursday. There will be no timekeeping for all runners and walkers.

What does SERVIEW26 do for sustainability?
Our aim is to make SERVIEW26 more sustainable step by step.
We have expanded the measures in the areas of infrastructure, waste and content and will offer a comprehensive reusable concept in cooperation with the Lufthansa Conference Center.
We are proud to have selected Lufthansa Seeheim as a partner that has been awarded the GreenSign Hotel Level 4 out of 5 certification.
Are dogs allowed on the SERVIEW26?
Dogs are generally permitted in the Lufthansa Conference Center. However, this does not apply to hygiene areas such as the restaurant. SERVIEW26 (Congress+Expo) can be noisy and crowded, so we cannot allow dogs to stay for the sake of the animal.
Exceptions are assistance dogs (e.g. guide dogs for the blind).
Can I charge my electric car at SERVIEW26?
A total of 14 modern e-charging stations are available in the parking garage on level -2.1. These charging stations are a cooperation with Vattenfall, a reliable partner that offers a sustainable charging solution for electric vehicles in the region.
The charging speed and further details on the costs and compatibility of the charging stations can be found in the Vattenfall InCharge app. The app provides you with information on the maximum charging capacity of the stations, the tariffs offered and the types of charging connection supported. This gives you a transparent overview of the charging processes and helps you to plan your electric mobility in the best possible way.
