The Eremitage Run is a very popular yearly sports event for runners - and was run for the first time in 1969. The runners run a route that is formed as a figure 8 trough the entire Eremitage Plain - and the length of the track is 13.3 km. The Eremitage Run is performed every first or second Sunday in October and there is a max level for the amount of participants - which is 25,000 runners to prevent traffic jams - and consideration to the animal life in the Deer Park. There are about 50,000 to 60,000 spectators watching the Eremitage Run every year.
