Tanzenhaider-Weiherlauf 2026
The Tanzenhaider Weiherlauf is one of the respected, traditional running events in Middle Franconia. On Saturday, July 11, 2026, it will be held for the 21st time. The main race and walking route leads over 10 km through the Langholzer forest, which nestles around the gem of Tanzenhaid – it is both demanding and impressive.
Start and finish are at the SCO Sportheim in Oberreichenbach.
Highlights 2026:
- A free functional running shirt for early registration for the main race/walking by June 13th.
- SCO Night Light Run.
