Taubertal 100 Ultramarathon

The Taubertal 100 Ultramarathon is a point-to-point ultra running festival centred on Rothenburg ob der Tauber and branded locally as Der Ritterlauf. Held on 3 October 2026, the event offers multiple distances from 50 km up to 100 miles and is marketed as a scenic Tauber valley route with GPS maps, live tracking and a strong emphasis on course measurement and record eligibility. The event carries IAU labels for several distances and is presented as a technically measured course suitable for best-listing performances.

Runners must meet qualification criteria for the longer distances and the race employs strict checkpoint cut-offs, drop-bag logistics and luggage transfer services to finish towns. Support features include multiple aid stations along the route, finish-area showers and finisher awards including medals and a special 100-mile belt-buckle; prizes and age-group trophies are awarded to top finishers. The organiser maintains detailed participant documentation (waivers and participation terms), a registration portal with tiered fees, and dedicated pages for GPX/route files, results and media.
