The Dead Man Mountain Run ignites Freiburg's mountain sports
On July 25, 2026, a true test of endurance, sense of rhythm, and willpower is on the schedule in Oberried: The 39th International Dead Man Mountain Run starts at 10:00 AM and takes runners over 11.1 kilometers and 750 meters of elevation gain up into the Black Forest landscape. The traditional race stays true to its profile: trail running, mountain run character, and intense competition excitement until the last meter.
A course that demands respect from the start
The route requires clean pace control and wise planning from the very beginning. Forest paths, trails, and steep sections spread the field apart, while the mountain mercilessly reveals the tactics. Those who push too hard too early will pay a double price at the top. Those who run wisely will find the crucial reserves in the second half of the race.
Stadium atmosphere in the heart of the Black Forest
Even without an arena, the special tension that makes mountain runs so unique builds up here: breaths shorten, steps become harder, and the view narrows. At the Goldberghalle in Oberried, the distribution of start numbers, changing rooms, and catering are centralized, while the starting area on the main road creates that typical moment before the race where everything seems to stand still - until the field sets off.
More than a race: Tradition, youth, and mountain running culture
The Dead Man Mountain Run is part of the Black Forest Mountain Running Cup 2026 and combines elite sports with inclusivity. In addition to the main race, there are also children's races on the agenda, giving the day a strong family and sports dimension. The run thus remains not only a test for the strong but also a celebration for the next generation of mountain sports.
Organization with clear processes
Registration is open online until July 22, 2026, and late registration is possible on-site until 30 minutes before the start. For spectators, the bus to Stollenbacher Hütte is an important component of travel, as there are no parking spaces available in the finish area. Those who are there live experience the mountain running atmosphere, the excitement of reaching the finish line, and a challenging natural backdrop up close.
Conclusion: A must-attend event for all mountain sports lovers
The 39th International Dead Man Mountain Run promises an intense race day with a clear sports line, genuine toughness, and true Black Forest flair. Anyone looking for performance, landscape, and competitive excitement in one event should experience this mountain running experience live in Oberried.
