Werner-Seelenbinder Run – SV Merzdorf-Gröden

The Werner-Seelenbinder-Lauf is a memorial running event organised by SV Merzdorf-Gröden that commemorates the life and legacy of Werner Seelenbinder. The event blends competitive and recreational running with community remembrance and has been held for decades in Gröden. The organisers present multiple race distances to welcome families, walkers and serious athletes alike, and the published page emphasises both sporting challenge and the preservation of Seelenbinder’s memory.

For the 2026 edition the organisers publish a scheduled date of 18 October 2026 and provide practical information such as on-site bib collection from 08:00 and on-day registration (Nachmeldung) permitted until 09:30 subject to capacity. The programme lists four races — a 2 km Familienlauf, 5 km Nordic Walking, 5 km Volkslauf and an 11 km Hauptlauf — with individual start times posted on the event page. Prize awards for the top three men and women are confirmed and the day includes route marking, medical support and refreshments around the start and finish areas.
