Innsbruck Alpine Trail 2027
Innsbruck, Austria, 6 May 2027
This course is a full loop around Innsbruck that runs past the Kalkkögel mountains and over the Patscherkofel, taking in a wide range of Tyrolean alpine terrain from valleys to high trails. The route is aimed at experienced ultra runners and the organiser says the flowing and technically demanding high-alpine trails should not be underestimated. It also carries extra event prestige because it uses the route of the 2023 World Championships, making it a serious endurance test in a major trail-running setting.
3 distances from 43 to 105 km, up to 4,425 m of climb.
