Oberaudorf Trail Festival | OTF 2026

Oberaudorf, Germany, 2 Oct 2026

This point-to-point course starts in Kiefersfelden and runs back to Oberaudorf over a chain of big mountain sections including Großer Traithen, Unterbergjoch, Steilnerjoch and Schwarzenberg. It is a long alpine effort that mixes runnable sections with sustained climbing and descending, and the organiser makes clear that weather, navigation awareness and compulsory kit matter. The race is the new 100K addition to the Oberaudorf Trail Festival, finishing back in the festival atmosphere at Kurpark Oberaudorf.

6 distances from 12 to 104 km, up to 5,722 m of climb.
