Nestled within the picturesque Hunsrück region, the HuBuT (Hunsbuckel Trail) offers runners an unforgettable journey through some of Germany's most enchanting natural landscapes. This trail race series takes place across three distinct distances: a 12 km ShortTrail, a 27 km HalfTrail, and the epic 47 km UltraTrail. The event kicks off in Laubach, a quaint village surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests. Participants are greeted with lush green meadows and an impressive array of hiking trails that wind through ancient woods and alongside serene lakes. The route is dotted with historical landmarks, including medieval ruins like the Balduinseck Castle, which adds to the mystical allure of this challenging course. The ShortTrail, starting at Laubach's Grillhütte in the heart of a forested area, takes runners on an enchanting 12-kilometer loop through dense woodland. This route features some of the region’s most scenic and well-marked hiking paths, such as the "Burgstadt-Pfad" near Kastellaun, offering glimpses of small lakes and quaint villages. For those seeking a more extensive adventure, the HalfTrail extends to 27 kilometers, weaving through deep forests with single-track trails that snake between towering trees. This route includes steep climbs and descents along rugged paths, passing by historical sites like Balduinseck Castle nestled in an enchanted valley. Runners will also traverse narrow gorges and cross over ancient stone bridges. The UltraTrail presents a grand challenge spanning 47 kilometers, featuring the most varied terrain of all three courses. This route not only includes some of the best single-track trails but also leads runners to experience the awe-inspiring "Geierlay" hanging rope bridge, which spans deep ravines and adds an extra layer of adventure. The race day starts early with the UltraTrail at 08:00 AM followed by the HalfTrail at 09:00 AM and concludes with the ShortTrail beginning at 10:00 AM. Each runner will be charged a registration fee, ranging from €50 for the UltraTrail to €30 for the HalfTrail and €15 for the ShortTrail. In addition to these main events, HuBuT also features children’s races called Rehkitzläufe, designed specifically for young runners of different age groups. These fun runs start at 9:15 AM with a Bambini race (300 meters) and continue throughout the morning until 10:05 AM. Participants can expect to be immersed in a landscape rich with history and natural beauty, where every step reveals new wonders from ancient mills to crumbling stone walls. The Hunsrück Trail Race promises an unforgettable experience for runners of all levels, inviting everyone to explore this captivating region in a unique way. This event is not just about the race; it’s about discovering the soul of the Hunsrück and its timeless beauty through miles of winding trails and historic sites. Join us on September 24, 2026, for an adventure you won’t soon forget.
