In the past there has been a race Rennsteig non-stop that covered the full and exact course of the Rennsteig between 2013 and 2021.

The fastest male time was set by Martin Armenat in 18 hours and 10 minutes in 2021, and qualifies as supported style FKT. The fastest female time dates back to 2013: Heike Bergmann in 23 hours and 19 minutes, and also qualifies as supported style FKT.
