Dare 2B Alpenstadt City and Trail Bad Reichenhall

The Alpine City Bad Reichenhall

Bad Reichenhall in the Berchtesgadener Land district is one of Germany's most traditional spa towns. The salt town on the edge of the Berchtesgaden Alps is located at 470 meters and offers a spectacular mountain backdrop: Hochstaufen (1,771 m), Predigtstuhl, and Zwiesel frame the town. This geography makes Bad Reichenhall the ideal stage for a running event that combines city and mountain.

Four Route Options for Every Challenge

The range of routes is the event's strength: Those seeking alpine competition can run the Hochstaufen-Trailrun (19 km, 1,350 meters elevation gain) over the challenging »Stoanane Jaga« to the summit. Those who prefer a more moderate challenge can choose one of the two City Trails — the Klosterhof-Trail (5.5 km, 100 m elevation gain) or the Alpenstadt-Trail (9.7 km, 200 m elevation gain). For children, there are two route options as well as a 150-m Mini Run for the little ones.

Festival Atmosphere at Rathausplatz

All runs start and end at Rathausplatz, which becomes the central festival hub. Food trucks and a catering tent provide for runners and spectators, the band »The Live Jacks« plays live from 8 PM, followed by an after-party at Club Oceans. The event is thus both a sports competition and a city festival — a combination that is a hallmark in the Upper Bavarian running scene.

20 Editions, Over 12,800 Participants

In its 20 editions, the event has mobilized over 12,800 runners, who have completed more than 154,000 kilometers together. These figures underscore the importance of the running event in the Upper Bavarian sports scene. The main sponsor for years has been the outdoor clothing manufacturer Dare 2B, which lends its name to the event.
