Rab GaPa Trail 2026 – Your Home Run in GaPa

Rab GaPa Trail 2026 (officially "Rab GaPa Trail – Dein Heimatlauf in Garmisch-Partenkirchen") takes place on Saturday, 25 April 2026 in and around Garmisch‑Partenkirchen, with the Olympia Skisprungstadion / Olympia Skistadion as the event hub. The festival-style weekend brings together trail runners, walkers and families on Alpine trail routes and includes three principal distances—Langstrecke (~26 km), Mittelstrecke (~20 km) and Kurzstrecke (~10 km)—plus the Wertstoff Bader Kinderlauf for youngsters. Course pages provide GPX downloads for every route and the routes are described as largely off‑road, technical profiles that showcase the local landscape. The organiser is the Offroad Association (OAI e.V.).

The weekend schedule features an expo, Friday packet pickup, a race village with warm‑ups and supporting activities (including a Shake Out Run and the GaPa Vertical Run), staggered race starts on the main race day, on‑course refreshments and regional aid stations, official timing for running disciplines, online results and trophies for podium finishers, plus participant keepsakes and an optional official event shirt. There are also untimed walking / Nordic walking options and a children’s stadium run; the event includes team (Firmenwertung) categories and dog-friendly race categories.

Organisers publish GPX route files, provide online entry and starter lists (registration opened in 2025 with early‑bird pricing windows), and make the full regulations (Ausschreibung), start windows and detailed course maps available on the official website. Additional services include showers/changing facilities, online certificates and an optional money‑back guarantee for some entry types.
