Lace up and layer up — Winterläufe is back!
There’s no better way to warm up your winter and kick off your 2026 race season than with this frosty favorite — all for a great cause. Every dollar raised supports local charities and vital community efforts.
This scenic, out-and-back course takes runners through snow-dusted stretches of Frankenmuth’s countryside and across the historic 1904 Gugel Bridge, offering a peaceful (and brisk!) tour of Michigan’s Little Bavaria.
Awards will be given to top finishers in each division.
Looking to save a little green this winter? The Economy option gets you to the start line and the snack table — but skips the shirt and medal. Still want swag later? Limited quantities will be available at the Winterläufe Store, along with exclusive race-day merch!
To guarantee a shirt and medal, be sure to register by January 23, 2026!
