my take
A marathon on Christmas Eve morning is a particular kind of choice, but the 8 km is a very good way to earn the evening meal.
about the event
Christmas Eve trail run on a forest circuit around the Bärenfels rock, with the same loop stacked into roughly 8 km, 16 km, 32 km and a 42 km marathon. Walkers are admitted on the shorter distances.
Preparing for Bärenfels Heiligabendlauf 2026?
Race day is Thu 24 Dec 2026, in 53 days. Counted back from that date, a two-week taper would start on Mon 14 Dec 2026; the planner lays out base, build and peak from the day you set it. The taper is the one phase with a meta-analysed optimum: about two weeks, training volume cut by 41 to 60 percent, intensity and frequency kept (Bosquet et al. 2007). A standard structure, not a training plan and not medical advice.
