Weather conditions seem to improve slightly on Sunday, so I propose an easy trail running event of approximately 20 km with around 900 m of elevation gain.

This is an easy (T1) trail, ideal for getting started with trail running. There are several water points along the route, as well as 3 mountain huts that are open during weekends.

Most of the uphill sections are runnable, and some steeper parts can easily be bypassed using a nearby road if the terrain is too muddy. The route offers beautiful views over the Sihlsee and Zürichsee regions and is mostly non-technical, making it very suitable for beginners.

After reaching Stöcklichrüz, the trail descends gently towards Altendorf before returning to Lachen along the lakeside path.

Optionally, the route can be extended by visiting Etzel and descending towards Pfäffikon.

Recommended gear: trail running shoes, 0.5-1 L of water (can be refilled several times along the route), and a waterproof jacket just in case.

Disclaimer: this is an informal group activity and not a guided tour. Participation is at your own risk. Even on easy terrain, accidents and injuries can happen.
