Obertauern Trailrun Summit

The new "Sprint Trail" competition format, which is limited to 60 male and 60 female participants, will kick off on Friday, July 12, 2024 at 5:00 pm, with wave starts/heats with 10 men and 10 women instead of the usual mass start. In 5-minute intervals, 6x ten trail runners and then 6x ten female trail runners will be sent on the 1.8 km course with 97 steep meters of altitude difference on the uphill (Gamsleiten ski run!) and also on the downhill. So you have to win your race and achieve a great time to be on the podium at the end! This is sure to be a super exciting competition for all participants and spectators! The Sprint Trail is very short at 1.8 km so that all participants can also compete in the "usual" trail running distances on Saturday without any loss of physical substance. However, you have also in the "Sprint Trail" the chance to win the same prize money as in the other competitions! Even the Austrian public broadcaster ORF is interested in a TV broadcast of the Sprint Trail and will decide in spring 2024 whether it will broadcast the Sprint Trail live on one of its channels!

With the 4 trail running competitions on Saturday, July 13, 2024 Short Trail 1 Summit (8.6km / 809 Hm Up and Down), Half Marathon Trail 1 Summit (26km / 1,691 Hm Up and Down / 20K), Marathon Trail 2 Summits (53.3km / 3,013Hm Up and Down / 50K) and Trail Ultra 5 Summits (75.7km / 4,646Hm Up and Down / 100K), there is the right route for every trail runner. Register right here for the Sprint Trail and/or for one of the "usual" trail running distances.
