About This Race
The 24K distance serves as an ideal introduction to the technical demands of Alpine trail running, offering runners a substantial mountain challenge without the extreme commitment of the longer ultra distances. This course provides enough elevation gain and technical terrain to develop genuine mountain running skills while remaining accessible to runners stepping up from road racing or shorter trail events. With a manageable distance that still requires proper pacing and nutrition strategy, the 24K allows runners to experience the full character of the Kitzbühel Alps terrain while building confidence for future ultra-distance adventures.
