Bärenkopplauf (Bear Hill Run)

The Bärenkopplauf is an evening mountain and trail race held in Waldbreitbach on the WällerTour Bärenkopp and organised by VfL Waldbreitbach. The main race is run over about 11 km with approximately +360 m ascent and -260 m descent, and uses time-staggered block starts from 18:00. The event page for the 2026 edition confirms the date as Friday 7 August 2026 and notes that registration is open.

The festival-style meeting includes a child-focused programme called the Bärchenlauf, held on the Klosterberg from 16:00 for age categories U6, U8, U10 and U12, making the day family-friendly. The Bärenkopplauf is promoted as the mountain/trail race in the Naturpark Rhein-Westerwald and the organiser publishes results and flyers for previous editions. Practical details such as entry fees, exact start locations, shuttle or parking arrangements and included race gifts are not listed on the event page.
