RennFietsen Tour Münsterland

The aim of the RennFietsen Tour Münsterland is to help children in need whilst combining sport with social engagement. This popular charity cycle ride supports the two aid organisations, the AGAPEDIA Foundation and roterkeil.net. The tour is organised by the cyclists of Team AGAPEDIA Münsterland and Roter Keil Senden in cooperation with Münsterland e.V.

One hundred per cent of the funds raised go to the supported organisations. The fact that the funds can be donated in full is thanks to the many volunteers, benefactors and sponsors who, through donations of goods and money as well as their tireless personal commitment, make the tour possible in the first place. Westenergie AG has been the long-standing main sponsor of the RennFietsen Tour Münsterland.

The 18th RennFietsen Tour will take place from 6 to 9 May 2027. Make a note of the dates now. You can register for it here from now on!

RennFietsen Tour Münsterland 2026

€47,000 raised for children in need – a record total achieved at the 17th RennFietsen Tour Münsterland

Four days, around 600 kilometres, 40 dedicated road cyclists and a fantastic result: the 17th RennFietsen Tour Münsterland raised an impressive €47,000 for children in need.
From the start at Münster/Osnabrück Airport to the emotional finale on the Prinzipalmarkt in Münster, the tour wound its way through picturesque countryside around the stage town of Warendorf. 

The tour was a powerful symbol of community, commitment and solidarity. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this special charity ride possible!

"I can give something back, also as a small thank you for my great childhood"

The Rennfietsen Tour has become a tradition for him: Achim Stockel from Greven doesn't just get on his bike himself. Supported by family and friends, he is organising the team's stay in Rheine in 2024. In this interview, the 51-year-old explains, among other things, how he lets his donors cheer him on at home during the tour.

Hubertus Gärtner from Albersloh took part in the Rennfietsen Tour last year as a newcomer. In this interview, the 69-year-old talks about how this time among like-minded people has shaped him - and why he is now keen to inspire others for this good cause.

A helping hand in the background

Melanie Glanemann lives in Freckenhorst near Warendorf and works as a fitness and nutrition trainer and fasting instructor. She has been involved in the Rennfietsen- Tour since 2016, initially as a participant herself and for the past three years as part of the organisation team. During the tour, she works in the catering team to ensure that the athletes don't run out of energy and still have enough strength for the route.

Guiding principle and goal

People and projects

The RennFietsen Tour Münsterland creates the basis for projects to support needy and distressed children. The participants of the RennFietsen Tour Münsterland turn this basis into their own projects.

Our guiding idea

Through the numerous projects of the participants, a large number of people should be sensitised to the topic of children in need, in order to change children's fates.
Children in need should be helped and their social development supported.


Our goal for the RennFietsen Tour:

Every kilometre cycled is "sold" for the amount of 1 € per kilometre.

Are you in?

Questions for you:

  • Do you want to make the Rennfietsen Tour idea your own?
  • Do you want to inspire people with your project for the idea of the Rennfietsen-Tour?
  • Do you want to adopt the Rennfietsen-Tour as your goal and "sell" your kilometres ridden for 1 euro each?
  • Can you manage to cycle up to 150 kilometres by road bike in one day?

THEN JOIN US!

And what happens if you don't reach your goal?

Then be proud of what you have achieved for children in need. We would be delighted to welcome you to the next tour and look forward to celebrating your success with you. Set yourself a new goal for the next time, be inspired by the projects of the other participants and be there again every year around Ascension Day when the motto is: "Münsterland helps children in need".

AGAPEDIA

AGAPEDIA Foundation

AGAPEDIA is the foundation established by Jürgen Klinsmann in 1995 to set up projects to support needy and suffering children. AGAPEDIA's work includes advising, planning, organising and implementing humanitarian projects with the aim of directly helping affected children and supporting social developments through sustainable projects.

In addition to a project in Germany, AGAPEDIA is particularly involved in Eastern Europe, as many abandoned infants and children live in these countries due to the poor economic situation combined with high unemployment. AGAPEDIA is now active in many countries as a registered foundation with its own local staff teams. The administrative costs of the foundation are borne by the founding members of AGAPEDIA and from the income of Jürgen Klinsmann's foundation assets.
