7. 7-MEILEN-TRAIL

The 7-Meilen-Trail is a forest trail race held in Kaiserslautern, Germany, within the Kaiserslauterer Wald in late September. Participants can select a 7-mile (11.265 km) course or a 4-mile (6.437 km) course. The longer route involves approximately 340 meters of elevation gain, and the shorter route includes about 130 meters. Both routes offer genuine off-road running, distinct from flat park circuits. The racecourse consists of forest paths, with no asphalt used. The start and finish lines are located across from Restaurant Sommerhaus. Registration takes place at the TSG Kaiserslautern clubhouse. The running department of TSG Kaiserslautern is the organizing body. The event is also part of the Laufladen-Cup series, providing local runners with an additional incentive to participate.
