In the coming year, Grainau will again become Trail Running Metropolis when, between June 22 and 24, the idyllic Zugspitze village hosts the second edition of the SALOMON ZUGSPITZ ULTRATRAIL. Two routes of different length will take up to 1000 participants around the summit of Germany\'s highest mountain, measuring 2,962 m.
The basic figures of the Ultratrails sound incredible keeping in mind that we are not talking about a stage race here: 103.0 kilometers of distance and 6,027 meters of elevation difference must be conquered in one day (slight changes possible). The start may take place early in the morning but most of the participants won\'t reach the finish before nightfall or the early hours of the next day after running for more than 24 hours. The shorter Supertrail of about 71.5 kilometers distance and 3,720 meters of difference in elevation (slight changes possible) requires fighting spirit as well, for the last participants are not expected to reach the finish after less than 17 hours. The diverse course through the Wetterstein Mountains on fantastic trails and against a breathtaking backdrop will certainly reward the long-distance runners for their efforts.
