Stanzer Trailrun

The Almentrail in the Fischbacher alps start off with 5 km on a sloping asphalt road with 300 altitude meters to the first refreshment station. From here on there will be alpine pastures to the Stanglalm to the 2:nd station (12 km, 850 altitude meters concluded so far). The next 7 km go past the wind turbines on slightly hilly alpine pastures. After 19 km/1100 altitude meters we reach the first the 1:st relay hand over station and at the same time the goal for the short trail runners. The runners on the 2nd relay the marathon runners, continue for 13 km on woody trails to Herrnaim for the 2 relay hand over station on the Stanzebergerhöhe, with beautiful views into the east Styria all the way to the Graz basin! 

The runners on the 3rd relay and the marathon runners now contest the steepest ascen – at the same time highest point with 1600 m above sea level – the 3 km from the hand over to the highest point run on narrow single trails and 300 m in ascent! After refreshments at the 8th station on Hochschlag, the race goes at a breathtaking speed on single trails and a downhill to Hofbaueralm, where we find the 9th station. The runners will receive big applauds and music. 

The beautiful but challenging Almentrails are awaiting you next. With a view of the Mürztal Hochschwab and the alpine pastures, you approach the last station at Kitzl. From here, there are still 6 km to the goal. Continue on mossy forest floors, forest roads until you reach the finish at the sports and cultural hall in Stanz im Mürztal. 

Here you can expect a finish area with a large cake buffet, and all the other things that make a runner’s heart beat faster. In the sports hall, just 20 meters from the finish, you can take a shower, relax, strengthen and enjoy yourself. As well as enjoying flashbacks from the race with like-minded.
