Kapellenlauf Vorra 2026

The Kapellenlauf Vorra is a trail race held annually in the municipality of Vorra on the first Sunday in August, organized by DJK SC Vorra. Participants can choose between a half marathon and a 10.55 km quarter marathon, both featuring significant elevation gain that provides a true trail running challenge. The event also offers a 5.5 km run and Nordic Walking route, alongside youth races: 1,400 meters for students up to 16 and 400 meters for children up to seven. The course consists of a large loop on field and forest paths, predominantly within wooded areas with a gently rolling terrain. Established in 2010, the race has previously hosted the Upper Franconian half marathon championships, attracting both competitive regional athletes and local families, walkers, beginners, and children. Prizes are practical and community-focused: overall winners of the two longer races receive special awards, age-group winners get material prizes, student winners are awarded trophies, and all Bambini finishers receive a prize.
