About This Race
The 72K represents the full alpine challenge at Mozart 100, demanding runners navigate the complete circuit through the Salzkammergut's most demanding terrain while maintaining the endurance to tackle significant elevation over multiple lake crossings. This distance requires seasoned trail runners comfortable with technical descents and sustained climbs, as the route tests both mountain running skills and ultra-distance pacing across nearly nine hours of varied alpine conditions. Positioned between the accessible shorter options and the extreme 119K, the 72K offers committed runners the full Mozart experience without venturing into the most grueling ultra-endurance territory.
