Overview
Rund um Fehmarn Ultra is a 71-kilometer trail race starting in Burgstaaken, Fehmarn, Germany, on December 31, 2026. The 50mi-category event offers an unusually intimate setting, with a field smaller than 94% of its 672 peers—and bigger than just 5%—meaning entrants share the trail with few other competitors.
With an entry fee of 10 Euro, it provides an exceptionally low barrier to entry compared to typical ultra events. Runners taking on this fixed-format race will encounter isolated stretches along the route, following an edition in 2025 that saw 6 finishers complete the distance.
