Greifenstein Berglauf - 5K

The race is scheduled for Saturday 22 May 2027. Times of day are set by the organiser and are not confirmed here, so look on the official site in the weeks before the event for the start time and any registration window on the morning.

Berglauf simply means hill or mountain running in German. Races of this kind usually head out of town onto forest tracks and climbing paths before returning to the valley, so expect some ascent rather than a flat, fast loop, and expect to be on uneven ground underfoot.

For a 5 kilometre hill race, a normal road shoe will cope if the paths are dry and firm, while a light trail shoe gives better grip on gravel, grass or damp forest tracks. Check the organiser's course notes before deciding, since the profile and surface are not described on this listing.

Supporters are generally welcome at this kind of race and can often see runners on the climb and again at the finish. Exact viewing points depend on the course, which is not described here, so ask the organiser or follow the marked paths on the day.
