FAQs
Who the GRAVEL RUN is suitable for?
The GRAVEL RUN is for anyone who enjoys running. It especially appeals to runners who want more than a pure road race or trail run. The mix of surfaces and the integration of segments make the GRAVEL RUN unique. Just give it a try!
Do I need trail running experience?
No! You should enjoy running and be open to trying a new format. No prior experience is required for the GRAVEL RUN. Ideally, you train on different surfaces beforehand to see how your shoes and running style feel.
Can I start with friends or with my run club?
Of course! If you want to start with your club, run club, or friends, you can easily create a team in your ticket portal — up to 18 days before the event. Your team members can join via their own ticket portal. Run together, experience together.
Do I need special shoes?
For the GRAVEL RUN, fast running shoes with good grip are ideal — suitable for firm forest paths as well as grass and gravel sections, helping you maintain your pace across changing terrain. Road-to-trail or gravel running shoes with moderate tread and sufficient cushioning are ideal, giving you a direct yet stable run experience — perfectly in line with “road meets gravel.
How should I prepare for the GRAVEL RUN?
The best preparation is a varied one: combine runs on asphalt with sessions on gravel and forest trails so your body adapts to changing terrain. Short intervals and relaxed hill runs help build both speed and strength for the segments, while light strength and stability training strengthens your foot and leg muscles and reduces injury risk.
