Schauinsland King 2026: Freiburg's legendary mountain time trial calls to the local mountain
On July 19, 2026, the Schauinsland once again transforms into a stage for endurance, technique, and Alpine feeling in the Black Forest. The Schauinsland King has been considered Germany's largest and most popular mountain time trial since 2007, attracting an exceptionally wide range of participants: from racing bikes to tandems, unicycles, handbikes, longboards, and inline skates.

An ascent with cult status
The route follows the legendary Schauinslandstraße L 124 from Horben/Bohrer up to Freiburg's local mountain. Over 11.5 kilometers and around 800 meters of elevation, the course demands endurance, rhythm, and clean event management in the starting area. Particularly impressive: the steep ramp at the beginning and the increasingly flowing final climb towards the finish. ([schauinslandkoenig.de](https://www.schauinslandkoenig.de/index.php))
A race for many target groups
The Schauinsland King combines sports, scene, and inclusion. In addition to individual results, there are team results, classifications for special bikes, para-athletes, ski rollers, children in bike trailers, and other formats. This creates a true event experience with broad target audience appeal and an atmosphere that is palpable from the first start.

Organization, service, and racing atmosphere
The schedule is clearly structured: Bib number distribution on Saturday at the Decathlon Store Freiburg, on Sunday late registrations directly in the starting area, along with luggage transport to the mountain station, finish area catering, medical service, and restrooms at the start and finish. At the top of Schauinsland, food trucks, coffee, cake, and an awards ceremony for the top 3 in all categories and age groups await. Shower facilities are not available in the finish area.
