Overview
Emsauen Rheine Ultramarathon is a 46-kilometer trail race scheduled for 2026-12-31 in Rheine, Germany. Despite sitting in the 50k category, the 8-hour time limit demands an average pace of 10.4 minutes per kilometer, creating a cut-off tighter than 73% of 50k peers and more generous than just 27% across 1037 events. That standard forces runners to maintain steady movement over the distance with little margin for prolonged stops.
Securing a spot costs an entry fee of 5 €, keeping the financial barrier to the start line minimal for an end-of-year ultra.
