Record participation: 5000 cyclists conquer the Mecklenburg lake round!

On May 30, 2025, the Mecklenburg Lake Round celebrated its eleventh edition with an impressive participant record: over 5,000 cyclists took part in the event. The return of the participants in Neubrandenburg will be expected on Saturday between 6 a.m. and midnight. The demand for the popular cycling event is shown in the high number of active participants that are divided into three different routes.

The majority of cyclists, around 3,900, opted for the challenging 300 kilometer route, which leads from Neubrandenburg via Neustrelitz, Röbel, Alt Schönau and back to Neubrandenburg. The average driving time for this route is around 13 hours. Particularly adventurous participants started from 8 p.m., while others went on the track at 3 a.m.

different routes and events

In addition to the long route, there was also a 100-kilometer group of women and mini-Mecklenburger lake rounds for children and adolescents of up to 6 kilometers. The latter enjoyed great popularity and moved several hundred children to Neubrandenburg. In parallel to the cycling event, a saddle festival took place in the Kulturpark, which offered a lot of information about the topic of bicycle.

The event is actively supported by the NDR. However, it was also pointed out to the safety of the cyclists. The police asked all road users for consideration and warned of special dangers on the state road 25 between Neustrelitz and Mirow. There could be an increased traffic volume due to a construction site and diversions on the B198, which makes the conditions for cyclists difficult.

The celebration of the community experience

Detlef Koepke, the initiator and chief organizer of the Mecklenburg Lake Round, made it clear that this event is not just about speed records. The focus is on the community experience and the achievement of self -contained goals. This year, Maximilian Levy, an experienced cycling trainer and former world champion, was the patron of the event. Despite some falls and breakdowns, the participants were very satisfied with the course of the Mecklenburg Lake Round and were looking forward to the next event, which is planned for May 24th to 25th, 2024.
