Katronic at the 47th Harz Mountain Run 2025
The 47th Harz Mountain Run in 2025 drew a record-breaking field of approximately 4,000 participants to the unique landscape of the Harz National Park.
For the 12th time, our company team participated in the popular nature run event in Wernigerode
On the second weekend of October 2025, the 47th Harz Mountain Run took place—one of Germany’s most beautiful nature running events. Every year, this event draws many athletes to the picturesque landscape of the Harz National Park: With a total of 3,520 registrations by the official deadline—the highest number since the anniversary race eight years ago—the field of participants was on track to set a new record. Including late registrations, approximately 4,000 athletes ultimately took the starting line on race day.
The first Harz Mountain Run was held on October 14, 1978. At that time, due to the proximity to the Federal Republic of Germany, only 300 participants were allowed to start, even though 1,200 written registrations had been received. Today, the event is a fixture on the calendars of many running and hiking enthusiasts. Katronic has maintained this
tradition for many years and participated this time with seven participants from among its employees and friends. The Katronic events ranged from the 11-km hiking trail to the more challenging 25-km course.
Accompanied by fresh, crisp air over rolling hills, the participants were rewarded with the Harz Mountains’ autumnal colors—a true experience of nature! At the finish line, everyone received a medal as a memento of the completed course and the shared experience. The 47th Harz Mountain Run 2025 was more than just a sporting event for Katronic: it was a symbol of team spirit, commitment, and a love of nature.
The team is already looking forward to participating next year and hopes to inspire even more colleagues to join in this special experience.
