Chris-Marvin Scheffler wins the Tollenseseelauf 2025 again!

The 33rd Tollenseseelauf took place in Neubrandenburg on June 15, 2025 and once again provided a colorful hustle and bustle on the lake. In summer conditions, over 1,900 participants from different nations took part and impressively demonstrated how much enthusiasm and sense of community there is in the running community. Chris-Marvin Scheffler, who had already conquered the course last year, once again demonstrated his class with a victory in 2:45.10 hours. However, this time he had to fight the heat and take breaks from walking in order to successfully complete the run. Nordkurier reports that Scheffler had set a record of 2:32.48 hours last year.

The runner-up in the competition, Stefan Lange from SV Turbine Neubrandenburg, reached the finish in 2:56.38 hours, closely followed by Jona-Jean Kuchinke from the Harz Mountain Running Club, who took third place in 2:57.14 hours. The performance among women was also outstanding. Friederike Preuß from Pasewalk took first place with 3:43.10 hours and improved compared to the last two years, in which she took third place each time. Jeannette Kiesow from HSV Neubrandenburg crossed the finish line in second place in 3:50.80 hours, while Isa Koopmann from Kalkhorst took third place in 3:51:50 hours.

The organizers around SV Turbine Neubrandenburg were honored for their successful event by Dr. Sven Abrokat, a Güstrow runner and educator.
