Draisinenlauf Altenglan
The 5th Draisinenlauf Altenglan on Sunday, June 21, 2026, is a half marathon or a 2-person or 4-person half marathon relay (no walking). It runs along the Glan-Blies cycle path on the draisine route. The course is officially measured, flat (only 45 meters elevation gain), and almost entirely paved.
Experience a unique run in the Kuseler Musikantenland, cheered on by passing draisines! Here is the route plan on komoot.de.
Aid stations are located every 2.5 km with water, isotonic drinks, wet sponges, and cold showers. Eschenau (turning point) is the changeover point for the 2-person relays, and Ulmet is the further changeover point for the 4-person relays (outbound and return journey).
