A mountain run with pulse, panorama, and team spirit
The 41st Kampenwand Relay Race brings movement, excitement, and true mountain running atmosphere back to Bernau am Chiemsee on July 23, 2026. The traditional race of SLV Bernau starts at 19:00 with a mass start at Stachelpeterweg / Mitterweg and leads in two challenging stages to the Steinlingalm.
When the evening in Bernau becomes a competition rhythm
The start in the town already demands full concentration: fast legs, clean pacing, and a good feeling for one's own tempo. On the 5.36 kilometers to Hintergschwendt, 301 meters of elevation await, after which the race accelerates noticeably on the second stage with 3.80 kilometers and another 631 meters of elevation. This is exactly where pure strength separates from true racing intelligence in mountain running.
The course demands rhythm instead of haste
The relay classification adds to the appeal of this competition. Each pairing contributes their part, every handover counts, and every ascent can change the overall picture. The race thrives on tactics, race pacing, and the courage not to give away a second on the mountain. With the finish line at 1,452 meters height, the run becomes a true alpine endurance test with a magnificent finish panorama.
Atmosphere between floodlight feeling and mountain summer
The evening event creates a special stadium atmosphere under the open sky: fan chants at the side of the track, tense faces during the changeover, and the typical field tension of a race that stays open until the last elevation meter. Those who love mountain running will receive a complete sports package of nature, competition, and club spirit.
Organization that prioritizes safety and fairness
SLV Bernau relies on clear processes: bib number distribution and late registration take place on the event day from 17:00 in the TSV Bernau sports home, with the award ceremony following at around 21:30. The organizer points out that the run is only recommended for trained and healthy runners; mountain rescue and track service are included. Ski poles and spikes are not allowed.
Conclusion: A must-attend event for mountain running fans
The Kampenwand Relay Race combines endurance, teamwork, and an alpine backdrop into a race with real character. Those who want to experience the special mix of tradition, competitive excitement, and mountain summer live should not miss this evening in Bernau.
