11. St. Konrader Panoramalauf.
The main run of the St. Konrader Panoramalauf is a rolling seven-kilometre loop from the Badesee that follows the Grosser Panoramaweg. Its roughly 205 metres of climbing sit in one long rise to kilometre four, after which the course runs back down to the lake for two kilometres.
No date has been announced for the next edition yet. The course, elevation and route profile are from the most recent edition.
St. Konrader Panoramalauf: Course, Elevation & Route Profile
Start and finish are at the Badesee grounds in St. Konrad at around 594 metres. The first kilometre is nearly flat - the only place to gain time for free.
From kilometre one the real climb begins and continues, with interruptions, to the high point of 720 metres at kilometre 3.8. The hardest section lies between kilometre 2.4 and 2.9 and averages close to eleven percent; two short flat stretches in between can be used to recover.
Then the course turns: from kilometre four to kilometre six it descends almost continuously, some 145 metres back towards the valley, before the last 900 metres run flat back to the Badesee. The race is decided at the top and counted out at the bottom.
| Start | Length | Ø | Max. | Gain | Cat. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| km 0.7 | 1.5 km | 4.5 % | 10.2 % | +66 m | — |
| km 2.4 | 0.6 km | 9.3 % | 14 % | +58 m | — |
| km 3.5 | 0.3 km | 9.2 % | 14.9 % | +30 m | — |
Climb categories follow the road-cycling convention and rate the terrain itself (length and gradient) regardless of sport: Cat. 4 marks the easiest rated climbs, Cat. 1 the hardest, and HC (hors catégorie, “beyond categorization”) is reserved for the most brutal ascents. Short climbs below the Cat. 4 threshold stay unrated.
How to pace St. Konrader Panoramalauf.
Start under control
The temptation is the flat first kilometre. Run it to your goal pace and you arrive at the steep section from kilometre 2.4 already at your limit - and at close to eleven percent that section is the only one that genuinely hurts.
Hold your rhythm
Run the climb by effort rather than by pace, and use the two flat interludes at kilometres two and three deliberately, to breathe.
Spend what is left
From the high point at kilometre 3.8 there are two kilometres of descent to manage. They are fast, but they cost your quads; run them under control and save your last speed for the flat 900 metres to the finish.
Training plan for St. Konrader Panoramalauf: 12-week build
Build the base
Seven kilometres is short, but 205 metres of climbing over that distance asks for more than easy running.
Train race pace
Add one hill session a week: repetitions of three to five minutes at eight to eleven percent cover the decisive section exactly.
Rehearse the course
Because two of the seven kilometres run downhill, downhill running belongs in the plan - not as recovery, but as its own training for the eccentric load on your quads.
Arrive fresh
One or two full-loop test runs close to race effort will show you how much you can invest at the top without stalling at the bottom.
