The 32nd EmmenLauf 19 August 2026

Der 32. EmmenLauf 19.08.2026 is a one-day running festival centred on Saal Anlage Bätterkinden (SAB) with races through a newly prepared course set in a nature reserve. The organisers (OK EmmenLauf, under the patronage of the SLV) promote an evening schedule with mass starts for the main distances and a comprehensive children’s programme that stages a range of short races from 0.5 km to 1.6 km. Entries are handled online via Datasport and the event limits total participants to 1,550 (split between children and adults), so early registration is advised.

The event features chip timing by Datasport with rankings by net time, an awards ceremony from 18:00 and special prizes such as the Goldvreneli sprint coin for the 10.5 km winner. Practical services include bib collection on race day, cloakroom/changing facilities, on-site catering and professional event photography. Detailed route maps, PDFs and travel information (public transport and parking) are published on the official event pages for Utzenstorf / Bätterkinden.
