From now until the end of June, our calendar is filled with 15 events locally and abroad, with distances between 15 and 21,1 km. Let our overview inspire you!

For many runners, the competition season typically begins in mid-March with the Kerzerslauf. We’ve put together a training plan to make the first race of the year a success for everyone taking part! 

If you'd rather extend your winter break a little longer or prefer to stick to cross-country skiing for now, but want to tackle distances of 15 kilometres to a half marathon, you can start the training plan later on and set yourself a running goal based on the events listed until the end of June.
