Schlegeis 3000 Skyrace

THE SKYRACE...

The S KYRACE route - with a distance of over 34km and a total ascent/descent of 2400m - is the ultimate challenge for serious sky runners. After a relatively gradual climb at the start in the direction of Pfitscherjoch, runners cross the Austrian-Italian border and run for a short time on the Italian side of the Zilltertal Alps. Continuing on parts of the Peter Habeler Circuit, runners cross the Unterschrammach corrie and the 2,900m Riepenkopf - one of the secondary summits of the 3,476m Olperer, before returning to the famous Olpererhütte. The crux point is the climb up to the Friesenberg wind gap, where the highest point of 2,930m is reached. After a detour over the Petersköpfl peak with its famous "stone almonds", the route continues to the Friesenberghaus and back to the start at the dam on the reservoir.

The main challenge of the route is the very long distance at over 2,500m above see level, with key sections close to the 3,000m mark - below giant mountains such as the Olperer and Hoher Riffler.

The highly technically challenging route includes crux points with via ferrata elements, steel safety rope and very rocky sections. Much of it is on very steep trails that are extremely demanding, and require stamina and concentration from the runners. The Schlegeis 3000 SKYRACE is an extreme running event, most of which is on high Alpine terrain. Nevertheless, participants will be rewarded by a unique experience in a fantastic setting.

PLEASE NOTE!
The number of participants in the SKYRACE is limited to 250 starters!
