Kanonenbahnlauf 2026

Kanonenbahnlauf 2026 is a multi-distance running event held at Sportplatz Lengenfeld unterm Stein and aimed at "kleinen und großen Laufbegeisterten" — young and old runners alike. The event takes place on 2 May 2026 and offers a range of distances from a full marathon down to short childrens races, making it accessible for different ages and abilities. The organiser presents the race as an adventurous and memorable experience with distinctive course features that set it apart from ordinary road races. Entrants can expect a festival-like atmosphere around the start area and opportunities to purchase event merchandise.

The course is notable for crossing a dramatic 25-metre viaduct, passing through five tunnels with a total of about 5,000 tunnel metres and confronting runners with gradients of up to 15%, which together create a challenging and scenic route. These characteristics provide a varied mix of terrain and elevation that reward both endurance and technical running skill. The event page highlights optional exclusive merchandise such as a Kanonenbahnlauf headband and a T-shirt that participants may purchase. Practical logistics such as start times, packet pickup and exact on-course aid provision are not specified on the organisers registration page.
