Trail Run Einsiedeln 2026

Trail Run Einsiedeln is a trail running series held in the Schwyzer Alps each October. Participants can choose from 8k, 17k, 30k, and 56k distances, along with a Kids Run. This event is designed for runners seeking an affordable mountain experience, prioritizing essential organization over a highly polished race format. The organizers' philosophy is "Minimum essentials - great adventure," emphasizing shared trail time, adventure, and community. The courses traverse the trails in and around Einsiedeln, extending into the Schwyzer Alps. Distances vary from short runs to ultra-style distances. The organizers, who identify as ordinary runners, aim to create a straightforward trail run, explicitly stating that precise timing and competitive focus are secondary. TRE incorporates the motto "Grit, Grind & Good Vibes": grit represents courage and resilience during challenging climbs, long distances, and difficult terrain, while grind signifies the physical exertion required to persevere.
