The Torlauf Dachstein trail race is renowned for its challenging yet welcoming atmosphere and stunning natural beauty within the dramatic setting of the Dachstein massif. This well-organized annual event offers runners a variety of distances to suit all levels, from seasoned marathoners to casual joggers. At the heart of the competition lies the full Marathon course, spanning 42 kilometers with an impressive elevation gain of up to 2500 meters. The route is steep and technical, featuring a picturesque gorge hike, passage through the awe-inspiring Edelgries rock landscape, and even includes a challenging A-category climbing section about ten meters long. For those seeking something less daunting but still rewarding, there's the Half Marathon covering 24 kilometers with around 500 meters of elevation gain. This route also showcases some of the Dachstein’s rugged terrain while being more manageable for runners who prefer not to tackle the full marathon distance. The event also caters to recreational athletes and team enthusiasts through a scenic 10-kilometer loop that winds through Ramsau, offering breathtaking mountain views along its entirety. Additionally, participants can join in on an engaging Team Relay race where teams of four members run consecutive legs each measuring 10 kilometers. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Torlauf Dachstein, two new races have been introduced this year: Ultra Trail and Sky Race. The Ultra Trail is a grueling yet spectacular route stretching over 72 kilometers with nearly 4000 meters of elevation gain. This epic journey through high alpine terrain challenges runners both technically and physically, making it the ultimate ultra-running experience. The Sky Race offers an alternative for those who prefer uphill climbs to downhill descents. Spanning a distance of 24 kilometers with approximately 2220 meters in ascent, this race culminates at the awe-inspiring Dachstein Glacier – providing breathtaking views and a unique sense of achievement as runners conquer each elevation. With its rich history and diverse offerings, Torlauf Dachstein promises an unforgettable running experience for all participants. Don't miss out on joining one of the most anticipated trail races in Europe this year!
