Overview
The Blaulichtlauf der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr Schwaan is a 50k trail race organised by Förderverein Feuerwehr Schwaan e.V. It will take runners on a 52-kilometer route passing all fire departments in the Schwaan administrative district, with approximately 20% of the course on asphalt and the remainder on forest and field paths.
With 340 meters of elevation gain over 52 kilometers, the course has a climb of 6.5 meters per kilometer. This makes it a flatter 50k option, with less climbing than 7 out of 10 similar races. The field is smaller than 65% of 50k races, but bigger than 33% of them.
The 2026 edition will be the third time the race has been held, following editions in 2024 and 2025. The last edition in 2025 saw 21 finishers.
