Together for big dreams
Giving something back, supporting regional projects, making a difference locally – that's what the EWG Dresden5K is all about. That's why five euros per participant goes to support a project, an association or a local initiative. This means that the EWG Dresden5K is not only an event that you will remember for a long time to come, but you are also actively supporting selected projects with your entry fee.
Charity partner 2026: Omse e.V.
We shape and live education: attentive, individual and cross-generational. As an association, our commitment focuses on promoting education, culture and everyday life, as well as organising leisure activities and ecologically and economically responsible urban development in the west of Dresden.
In our daycare centres, the Laborschule Dresden and the ‘Puzzle’ children's and family centre, we offer a wide range of educational and developmental opportunities for children, young people and families. Here, we create spaces where everyone can learn, grow and develop together.
