Around 4,000 participants registered for the 50th edition of the Walfer Vollekslaf, including 1,300 students for the Marc Savic
Challenge, which is growing year by year, and 1,200 registrations for the children's run.

A celebrity run was organised for the special anniversary, led by Sports Minister Martine Hansen and Interior Minister Léon Gloden. Michel Knepper, who was designated as Walfy this year, was also present and finished just behind Minister Gloden and not too far ahead of the Sports Minister.

In the adults' 5.5-kilometre race, Jenny Gloden, who is currently preparing for the Frankfurt Marathon, and Eritrean Alexander Tesfay achieved first place respectively. Jonas Kinde was not at the head of the podium as had been the case in recent years, but came in second behind Tesfay.

Among others, the young Maxine Liebens-Thein, known for breaking national records one after another, and the European junior triathlon champion Sebastien Ziekman also won in their categories.
