SaarschleifenBike 2026

SaarschleifenBike 2026 is the annual cycling festival centred on the Cloef-Atrium in Orscholz, organised under the Saarschleife Touristik & Co. KG banner. The event (branded SaarschleifenBike) is promoted as "Saarlands größter Marathon" and brings together hobby and licence riders, youth races and companion events on a single day. The programme combines long-distance challenges with community and family activities and includes on-course services such as medical support, aid stations and finish-area facilities.

The race day features multiple competitive formats across the same venue: Ultra and marathon-distance bike events, an E‑Bike Challenge, the Sport‑Track, a Halbmarathon distance, the SaarschleifenRun and a series of youth races and the Ursapharm Firmenmeisterschaft (company team competition). The event also hosts national championship races (Deutsche Meisterschaft) within the Ultra programme. Support for participants includes BR-Timing chip timing, GPX route data, route marshals, shower/changing facilities and official parking guidance at nearby lots.
