About the event

The 6-hour race for individual starters (solo) and relay teams is family-friendly and entertaining. The run takes place on the beautiful Peace-Mile in the park around the Post-Sport-Verein in Moosach and inherits its name from it.

It is known for its beautiful circuit, great catering, enthusiastic helpers and little surprises.

A 6-hour run is ideal for all those who want to run more than a marathon for once or want to make their first steps into the ultra-marathon world. Nevertheless, this run with its great atmosphere and lots of nature is also a treat for veteran ultra-runners.

You can also take on the distance as a relay team. A team consists of max. 4 members. Runners take turns as often as they like during the 6 hours. It's great fun to see how many kilometres you can run together. And with the right strategy, you can be right at the front.

Comments

"[...] I would like to give you a big compliment and a big thank you, the event on Saturday was just great! For me it was the first 6 hour run / ultra and even though I did not quite make the 50km, This race has made me want more, I already knew the course, but all the environment were really great .. I have never had such great food during a marathon and the helpers were even better. They were always in a good spirits.
I would also like to emphasize the lap counters, who received me loudly at each of my 30 rounds and thus counteracted a lap dissiness :) "
-- Andreas Stettner (2018)

"I didn’t have a chance to catch someone after the race today to talk to, so I wanted to send you a quick message via email. I’ve lived in Germany for more than two years as a student and I’ve taken part in several races around Munich and also other parts of Europe. I wanted to say that today was the best experience I’ve ever had at a race, and I wish I would be here next year to do it again. Today when I was leaving I felt the urge to help more with something because I definitely took more away than what I gave. Thank you so much for an open and inspiring event. My boyfriend and dog were also very happy about the day. Many thanks to the enthusiastic counters- they were definitely working equally as hard as the runners. Good luck with future events and please keep the positivity and enthusiasm at those as well!"
