Always Curious How Far I Can Go

Servus, I’m Maren, born and raised in Franconia, Bavaria. Honestly, I’m not a natural athlete: I came to endurance sports very late. My first road half marathon at 27 took the joy out of running, so I swapped it for climbing, hiking, ski touring and mountain biking.

Through mountain sports I discovered how much I actually love moving outdoors. In 2023 I started running again, this time on trails, and found freedom and inner calm instead of pace pressure. I ran my first trail race in 2025 and my first ultra in 2026 at Ultratrail Fränkische Schweiz, right in my backyard.

What keeps me hooked is the people. I volunteer at races, cheer at the finish line, and helped a German trail race series earn Gold status under the PTRA Women’s Equality Race Framework. Next on my list: starting a local run club for women.

For 2027, I’m training with Vert.run for two races: the 66k at Ultratrail Fränkische Schweiz, back in my backyard, and the 57k Großglockner Trail. Want to join me?
