Waldstattlauf - Säntis Panoramalauf

Waldstattlauf - Säntis Panoramalauf is a running and walking event in Waldstatt, Switzerland, held annually on August 15. The primary races are 5 km, 11 km, and 17 km, suitable for runners seeking a short, hilly challenge or a more demanding loop. The elevation changes are significant: the 5 km route involves 160 meters of ascent and descent, the 11 km has 356 meters each way, and the 17 km features 620 meters up and 620 meters down. The courses circle Waldstatt in Appenzellerland, offering clear views of Säntis and rolling terrain, distinct from a flat road race. Walking categories are available for the 5 km and 11 km distances, and a relay option exists for teams. Younger participants have dedicated races on the sports field, including 500-meter and 1 km distances, with all children receiving a long-sleeved finisher shirt and bag. The Zubi Family Sprint offers a relaxed family option with two 500-meter laps, no official ranking, and prize drawings.
