Belchen Mountain Run

The Belchen Mountain Run organized by TuS Schönau is celebrating its 20th anniversary and is once again part of the prestigious Black Forest Mountain Run Cup series. The starting signal will be given at 1 p.m. on Talstraße in Schönau. Then, running enthusiasts from near and far will once again have the unique opportunity to test their endurance in this breathtaking mountain landscape and show themselves and others what they can do in this mountain run. The exciting question remains whether the course record of 47 minutes and 51 seconds, set by Lukas Ehrle in 2023, will be broken. The route covers 11.4 kilometers from Schönau Town Hall to Belchenhaus and challenges runners with an elevation gain of 824 meters. Along the route, 80 percent of which leads through open terrain with picturesque pastures, participants enjoy breathtaking views over the Black Forest to the Alps. Those interested can explore and train on the route all year round, as it is marked with white arrows. Now it's time to be quick and register! All running enthusiasts are welcome to take part in this unique competition. After the race, all participants will gather at around 4 p.m. in the multi-purpose hall in Schönau for the award ceremony. Free return transport by the Belchen cable car and buses will be available for all runners to take them comfortably back down to the valley from the Belchenhaus. In addition to the sporting honor, attractive prizes await the participants. Spectators are welcome to cheer on the runners along the entire route and celebrate together at the award ceremony in the multi-purpose hall. Food and drinks will be provided in the multi-purpose hall. Pre-registration is possible until Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at the latest, on the Belchen Mountain Run website at [http://www.belchenberglauf.tus-schoenau.de](http://www.belchenberglauf.tus-schoenau.de).
