Cult event
5.5 km relay run for young and old, families and companies
Year after year, a total of 245 teams of five runners each line up for our famous – some would say infamous – asparagus run in Deinste. When the starting gun fires, all runners set off on the 5.5 km course right through the middle of the Deinste asparagus fields.
What makes it special: an asparagus spear as the relay baton. Our asparagus run is made for every fitness level. Whether you’re a beginner, a couch potato or a seasoned runner, you can walk, power-walk or run the course. All that counts is having fun. Ready, set, go – will you be joining us this year?

Fun run – winning team drawn by lot
Fun definitely comes first at our Asparagus Run! That’s why the fastest team doesn’t win – instead, we draw the winning team by lot. When you register, you’re automatically entered into the draw.
If you’re lucky enough to be drawn by our Asparagus Queen, you and your teammates step onto our big scales. You win your team’s combined weight in asparagus, potatoes, ham and strawberries. We also draw one youth team from the pot to win our youth prize.
Programme
Culinary mile – tasty treats and cool drinks
From fried asparagus and grilled specialities to coffee and cake, fresh popcorn from the popcorn machine, cheese and strawberry skewers or treats from Nudellei Werner, there’s plenty of delicious hot and cold food.
For a well-deserved cool-down, enjoy cold draught beer, wine, sparkling wine with strawberries, a caipirinha from our cocktail bar and lots of other drinks.
Bouncy castle & more for the whole family
Fun is a top priority away from the course, too! There’s lots to discover. For our youngest guests, we set up a big bouncy castle, a colouring corner and other hands-on activities. Meanwhile, the grown-ups can dance the night away at the after-show party with a DJ.
