Sechs Stunden Urwaldlauf

The Six-Hour Forest Run in Saarbrücken is a unique running event where participants can run as many laps as possible within six hours on a 1.85 km loop through the forest on the outskirts of the city. The course combines wide forest paths with idyllic singletrack trails and offers a challenging 46 metres of elevation gain per lap.
