Scott Women's Trail –The First Trail Running Weekend for Women Only

News Release / 13.04.2012

Munich, April 13, 2012 – With the SCOTT WOMEN’S TRAIL, there will be a trail running event taking place for the first time from September 21-23, 2012, in Neukirchen in the province of Salzburg that's geared exclusively towards women. On scenic and diverse trails at the foot of Mount Großvenediger participants can start at races of three different distances. Featuring courses of 5, 9 and 15 kilometers this special running weekend is tailored to all women who want to experience the fascination of mountain running away from paved roads.

The SCOTT WOMEN’S TRAIL is the latest hit of PLAN B event company GmbH, who have made a name for themselves as organizers of numerous top running events in the trail running scene. However, it's not always supposed to be all about ultra-distances, overcoming inner weaknesses, and the overall time. At the SCOTT WOMEN’S TRAIL women of all ages and fitness levels can dash together over hill and dale. Whether she is a quick mountain or cross country runner, marathon queen, leisurely Nordic Walker or fit mountain fan – the uniquely beautiful Alpine landscape of the National Park Hohe Tauern will have everyone excited with its numerous facets.

The event starts on Friday, September 21, with the race of 5 km and 200 m of elevation gain, which is especially suited for beginners. The 9 km long lap on Saturday, however, featuring 1300 m of elevation gain will bring out some sweat even in well-trained ladies. Sunday will see the longest course with a distance of 15 km. With its 600 m of elevation gain, however, it will be considerably less steep.

The races can be taken on individually in a daily classification or as a stage run. Aside from the individual run is also possible to start as a team (three ladies) or to run a relay race (each participant running one distance). From individual run to three-day-package with accommodation and wellness massage, there are different ways of booking. Attractive presents for participants and a perfect organization with shuttle service, timing, food supply along the course and in the finish as well as the Ladies Night featuring a barbecue for all are guaranteed to make this weekend a late-summer-highlight for all female leisure runners.

The registration for the first SCOTT WOMEN’S TRAIL is open as of now. More information about the event is available at www.womens-trail.com
