Gelterkinden Forest Run

The event "Waldlauf - TV Gelterkinden" (also known as Gelterkinder Waldlauf) is an evening forest run held in Gelterkinden, Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland. The race offers open start windows so competitors may begin within the stated timeframe rather than at a single mass start. Routes run on natural forest paths and cater for a wide range of ages and abilities, from children's runs to longer adult distances. The organiser is Turnverein Gelterkinden and the event traditionally forms part of the regional Oberbaselbieter Laufcup.

Distances include an 8.2 km long course, a 4.2 km short course and a 1.7 km children's course, plus walking and Nordic-walking options over 8.2 km. Start-number collection and late registration take place at the Dreifachturnhalle Hofmatt on the day, and all categories receive post-race refreshments. The competition features team scoring, category prizes for the top finishers and an informal festival (Festwirtschaft) at the hall for participants and spectators. Participants should consult the organiser's page for the latest rules, registration links and any changes to deadlines or start-window details.
