Freundschaftslauf

The saarLANDlauf is a friendship run around Saarland, held in 20 stages along the Saarland Circular Hiking Trail, covering a total of about 400 kilometers. The runs are guided friendship runs organized by local hosts and are intended for experienced runners who can comfortably complete a half marathon. The aim is to strengthen the community of Saarland runners and running clubs and to explore the region’s most beautiful spots together on foot. Participation is free, although a small donation is welcome.

These are not races but friendship runs. There are no running pacers or course markings; instead, GPS data for the routes is provided. The event encourages sociability and community, with a relaxed get-together after the runs. Changing facilities, showers, and parking are available at the meeting points. Participants explore the mystical, marshy Rötelsteinpfad region, with picturesque views of the Nahe. The event is part of a multi-day, regionally focused running event with several stages and route options.
