Riehener Lauftag – Grendelmatt-Stadion Riehen 2026

Riehener Lauftag begins and ends at Grendelmatte stadium in Riehen, near Basel, directing participants into the Lange Erlen park rather than city roads. Organized by Verein Pro Running, this autumn event offers 10 km, 5 km, and 2.2 km races, alongside 5 km walking and shorter children's races. The primary course is flat and fast, suitable for those aiming for a personal best or seeking a casual local competition. The 5 km loop forms the core route; 10 km participants run it twice, simplifying navigation and pacing. The event welcomes all runners and is family-friendly, including children's distances of 800 m and 1.5 km. Formerly known as Basel Running Day, it is listed in the Laufkalender Nordwestschweiz und Region, positioning it within the Basel-area running community rather than a large urban event.
