2026 is more than just a race.It’s a farewell – to the adventure that brought us together.
The 2026 program is set – and it marks the final chapter of an unforgettable journey.
To the magic of a place that became the stage for our most powerful moments.
To the challenge that pushed us to our limits – and beyond.
We hope many of you will join us one more time –
to dive into the silence of the lake,
into the thrill of the challenge,
into the heart of what Backwaterman has always been about.
One last time. One final race. One last goosebump moment.
One last time: Backwaterman.
To mark this special farewell, we’re planning some unique highlights for 2026.
- For our Hall of Fame athletes – those who have won the 7 km or 14 km races multiple times – we’ll be hosting a special gala evening on June 26 at Restaurant Hettegger. A limited number of seats are available for interested participants to book.
- All 10-time participants will receive a free entry for a race of their choice.
(Please contact us at [email protected])
- All winners of the 7 km and 14 km races will receive a 21% discount.

- During the gala evening, all present Hall of Fame athletes will be honored with a special certificate.
- The final awards ceremony will conclude with a grand raffle.
- We’ll be designing a special cult T-shirt, which can be ordered at a reduced price and in your individual size.
- In the coming months, we’ll be sharing fun stories and anecdotes from the past – and there will be prizes to win!
