Overview

Held in Berlin in May 2026, the Jahre - 50 km Geburtstagsultra was a low-cost 50k trail race organised by Südostberliner Vielläufer with an entry fee of 15 €. The 8-hour time limit enforced a required pace of 9.6 minutes per kilometer, establishing a cut-off tighter than 84% of 50k peers and more generous than only 16%.

Runners navigated 5 km loops alternating between asphalt and forest paths, starting and finishing at the Wuhlheide roundabout near the skate and bike track. With 15 finishers in its single 2026 edition, the event featured a small gathering on the trail—smaller than 74% of 50k fields and bigger than 24%.
