The 43rd Ötztaler Cycle Marathon will once again feature top-tier athletes. Defending champion Manuel Senni from Italy aims to retain his title, while last year’s runner-up Alban Lakata (AUT) and last year’s third placed Johnny Hoogerland (NED), are seeking redemption. Also in the race are 2022 champion Jack Burke from Canada and 2017 winner Stefano Cecchini from Italy. Former and multiple world champion (UCI MTB Eliminator ) Daniel Federspiel (AUT) adds additional excitement. Other prominent figures from the world of mountain sports, including former Austrian biathlete Dominik Landertinger, ex-ski racer Manfred Mölgg (ITA), and Hahnenkamm champion Thomas Dreßen (GER), round out the already strong field of participants.
