🏃‍♂️ Race Experience

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.

🎁 Registration Perks

• Apparel: A long-sleeved, winter-themed cotton tee (unless you choose the Economy option)
• Finisher Medal: A shiny finisher medal
• Refreshments: Cozy, delicious post-race refreshments
• Upgrade: Opt for the Sport-Tek long-sleeve for just $5 more!

🏅 Awards and Options

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!
