Set against the backdrop of the autumnal Spessart Mountains near Laufach, Germany, the "Lennermisch CROSS Bike & Run" returns on September 13, 2026. This unique race blends cycling and running through a challenging course that showcases both natural beauty and technical difficulty. Competitors have two options: the PRO category features an exhilarating 16-kilometer bike ride with 350 meters of elevation gain followed by an 8-kilometer run, which includes another 150 meters in ascent. The FUN category offers a more leisurely approach with a 16-kilometer e-bike route and a shorter 4-kilometer running segment, featuring the same challenging terrain but at a gentler pace. Both categories can be tackled as relay events, allowing teams to split up between cycling and running legs for added flexibility. The race also honors local emergency services with special awards for members of fire departments, rescue organizations, police forces, and THW (Technical Emergency Service). With stunning views and rigorous climbs, the Lennermisch CROSS Bike & Run promises an unforgettable experience for athletes aged 16 years or older. Whether you're a seasoned competitor looking to push your limits in both cycling and running disciplines, or someone seeking a fun day out with friends on e-bikes and shorter runs, this event has something unique to offer amidst the picturesque Spessart landscape. The race not only challenges participants physically but also celebrates community spirit by recognizing those who serve their communities daily. Join us for an afternoon of competition, camaraderie, and breathtaking scenery in Laufach’s scenic hills.
