31. Obernzenner Seelauf

The 31st Annual Obernzenner Seelauf, organized by the local sports club TSV Obernzenn, is set to take place on September 19, 2026. This beloved community race offers a variety of distances and age categories for runners of all levels.
Online registration opens on May 1, 2026, with entries closing at noon on the day before the event—September 17th—and late registrations are accepted up to one hour prior to the start time for an additional fee. Entry fees vary by race category and include a Bambinilauf (baby run) for children aged three to six years old priced at €5, as well as separate categories for school-aged participants and adult competitors.
The day's events kick off with the Bambinilauf around 10:15 AM, followed closely by two different age groups of Schülerlauf races starting from approximately 10:30 AM. These are designed specifically for young boys and girls within specific age brackets. For older participants, there is a Mittelstrecke (middle distance) race at about 11:00 am, which covers a course twice around the lake.
The highlight of the day comes with the Langstrecke or long-distance run scheduled to begin promptly at 11:30 AM. This challenging event spans approximately ten and seven-tenths kilometers through scenic routes around Lake Obernzenn. All participants will be provided with detailed maps showing elevation profiles, ensuring everyone is well-prepared for this exhilarating course.
Race day promises an array of rewards including commemorative T-shirts for all Bambini (children) and Schüler (students), while the top 60 finishers in both the middle-distance and long-distance races receive unique functional shirts as special gifts. Medals are awarded to the first three male and female winners across various categories, adding a competitive edge to each race.
Upon crossing the finish line, participants can look forward to complimentary mineral water or non-alcoholic wheat beer for adults. The club ensures that all attendees and spectators will enjoy refreshments provided by TSV Obernzenn, making it an inclusive event for everyone involved.
For those interested in reviewing their performance post-race, results are made available online through the race management system my.raceresult.com or on the official website of TSV Obernzenn.
