About the project Mainz kocht! - The Running Dinner

A reason for joy and celebration🎉: In August 2024, we founded the association Mainz nachhaltig verbinden e.V.! The Mainz kocht! project has evolved into an association that will offer even more events for and in Mainz in addition to the Running Dinner.

Mainz kocht! - The Running Dinner has been held twice a year since January 2020.

About us

Mainz kocht! is run by a group of volunteers. We are committed to a sustainable, socially just and liveable future!

With enthusiasm, creativity and a lot of fun, we create the concept, do the marketing, plan the routes and teams, look for sponsors and collect sustainable recipes for you as inspiration.


Our goal

Social cohesion: We want to create space for encounters, exchange and inspiration. Connecting generations and cultures! Breaking down barriers! Move Mainz!

Sustainability: We want to promote healthy and sustainable nutrition. We also offer the opportunity to cook with rescued food.

You want to get involved yourself? 

Would you like to become part of our team and help make Mainz kocht! an unforgettable and lasting experience? Then send us a short e-mail to team@mainz-kocht.de.

Would you like to support us?

In order to enable as many Mainz residents as possible to take part in the event, registration is free of charge. As a non-profit association, we are therefore financed by donations and sponsoring and look forward to your contribution to ensure that we can continue to organize the event in the future.
