- on Sunday:
- 10km run
- 21.1km half marathon

- 42.2km marathon relay
- 42.2km handbike marathon
Marathon runners and relay teams of two, three or four members are welcome to take part in the classic 42.2km run.
Starting in the small town of Ebermannstadt, competitors run out and back on the B 470 road which follows the Wiesent river and passes several pretty villages such as Streitberg (pictured).
The route is undulating. The course is closed off to traffic during the race.
