Exciting trails, high alpine passages and unique views combined with the required portion of ambition, condition and stamina – those are the ingredients that make the SALOMON 4 TRAILS a really special challenge for every sportsperson. This year too, they will lead runners from all around the world starting from Bavarian Garmisch-Partenkirchen through the Tirolean towns Ehrwald, Imst and Landeck to Samnaun in Switzerland. 150 kilometers and 10,000 difference in altitude need to be covered in ascent in four days – either as an individual starter or in a team. A real gigantic program that takes a great toll on each participant not only physically but also mentally. But no later than at the finisher shirts award ceremony all stresses and strains are forgotten. What remains are the memories of two eventful days, interesting trails and lots of new friends.

 

A short review of the SALOMON 4 TRAILS 2012

 

Last year, 350 runners from eleven nations faced the challenge of the SALOMON 4 TRAILS. Among them were also real high potentials such as Thomas Lorblanchet, mountain running champion in 2009, the German exceptional talent Philipp Reiter or this year's winner of the “Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc“, Francois D'Haene from France. For four days they put up an exciting triple fight for the overall victory which in the end the youngest participant in the run claimed for himself: after 16:05.37 hours the only 20 years old Philipp Reiter was the first one to cross the finishing line in Samnaun and could celebrate another big success..
