The 14th Meulenwald-Föhren run is over.
Thank you to all participants for being there.
Thank you to all the helpers for your support.
The 14th Meulenwald-Föhren-Lauf took place on 23 March 2024. The date for 2025 has not yet been set.
In 2009, the Meulenwald-Föhren Run became known as „Bendersbachtallauf - der Freunschaftslauf“ and is the largest friendship run in the region. At that time, the long course led through state forest and municipal forest in the direction of Naurath, past the former depot and on to Heidweiler. From there, it went through the Bendersbach valley to Heckenmünster and up to the sulphur and Victoria springs. The route then led, past the Hansenkreuz and the Dierscheider observation tower, back towards Naurath and back to the Viezkelterstation in Föhren.
The runners crossed two counties on the original long course and had to cross roads a total of four times, which meant a lot of logistical effort and time for us as organisers each time for applications, safety measures and compliance with requirements.
Therefore, we have decided to offer new routes for the main run and the 15km Teschermännchen run in 2022. We were able to keep the familiar 10km routes for runners and walkers. In 2023, we slightly modified the route again.
