About the Event

Welcome to the Vertical Trailrunning Event, an exhilarating addition to our annual lineup that combines traditional ski jumping with trail running and cross-country skiing challenges. This unique race invites participants to navigate steep slopes and rugged trails around the picturesque ski arena, offering a blend of endurance and technical skill.
The event begins on flat terrain before ascending into challenging territory. Runners will face an ascent up a 40-degree lift track, followed by descents down alpine pistes and along ski jumping ramps that serve as thrilling finish lines for each segment. The vertical climbs and steep descents provide an adrenaline-pumping experience, testing the limits of both body and mind.
To accommodate runners who prefer to carry their poles during the race, we offer a special "On-the-Run" stick zone at the bottom station where participants can quickly grab their equipment as needed. This innovative feature ensures that racers are well-equipped for any terrain they encounter throughout the course.
The Vertical Trailrunning Event promises an unforgettable adventure through some of the most scenic and challenging landscapes in Meßstetten, inviting runners to push themselves while enjoying breathtaking views and a unique blend of winter sports challenges. Participants should ensure their fitness level is suitable for such rigorous activities and are encouraged to consult medical professionals if necessary before joining.
Join us at the Vertical Trailrunning Event and experience an unforgettable journey through the mountains!

About Messstetten

Learn more about the host city, Messstetten.

Meßstetten is a town in the Zollernalbkreis district, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, which is situated in the Swabian Jura, 24 km southeast of Balingen. At an altitude of 907 m (2,976 ft), Meßstetten is the highest city in Germany. It is close to the Heuberg Training Area with the Lager Heuberg. Within the Heuberg Training Area there is the legendary Dreibannmarke, also called the "Bahn", a 17th-century border, which today marks the border between three different municipalities, formerly in the three states of Württemberg, Baden, and Hohenzollern. The meadow at the Dreibannmarke served as a stopping place for traveling merchants, wagons and craftsmen. With care it is possible to identify traces of the border. After the inauguration of the firing ranges, a meadow in Meßstetten was allocated as a camping site at the edge of the restricted area. Until 1835 merchandise was smuggled over the customs borders guarded by local hunters. Coffee smuggler Haux had was killed on 21 July 1831 in Pfaffental. Between 1934 and 1942, many men were sterilized because of "hereditary diseases". Under the program known as Aktion T4, the Nazis murdered mentally handicapped and mentally ill patients. These men and women were deported to the Grafeneck Killing Facility, where they were killed as "life unworthy of life". After the closure of Grafeneck in December 1940, a further deportation to the Hadamar Killing Facility occurred on 1941. After war a new city called Ostlandsiedlung was built.
