Schwarzenbacher Ausdauertag 2026

Schwarzenbacher Ausdauertag transforms the streets and paths around Schwarzenbach an der Saale in Upper Franconia into a local endurance event for runners, walkers, and families. The program includes a demanding 21.1 km half marathon, a popular 10 km run, 10 km walking and Nordic walking, a 5 km fun run, a 1.5 km pupils’ race, and a 400 m toddler run. The half marathon presents the toughest challenge for stronger runners, while the 10 km distance attracts many aiming for personal bests. Beginners, club runners, children, and Nordic walkers can all participate on the same race day. Official timing, refreshment stations, music, a bouncy castle, food, a sports buffet at the finish, and an award ceremony contribute to a town sports festival atmosphere.
