Waldmeisterlauf Painten 2026

Waldmeisterlauf Painten is a cross-country running event in Painten, Germany, held in late September. It is part of the Landkreis Kelheim Laufcup and offers several race options: a 9.6 km main run with approximately 60 meters of elevation gain, plus shorter 4.55 km and 2 km distances. The event also includes runs for children and school students, catering to a broad range of participants, not just experienced club runners. The course utilizes forest and meadow paths, providing a local, off-road character without being a mountain race. SG Painten, a sports club with activities including football, gymnastics, ski sport, cycling, stock sport, and volleyball, organizes the event. Registration is managed through the club, timing by race result, and participants can find start lists, results, and photos online.
