Description
The Mürzathlon is a well-established obstacle course in Austria, which is being organised for the seventh time this season and is returning to Mürzzuschlag again this year. Mürzzuschlag is a small town in Styria, which offers the perfect setting for an obstacle course with its many mountains and forests. The Mürzathlon therefore focuses primarily on natural obstacles that can be found in Mürzzuschlag itself and the surrounding area.
The obstacles include rivers, hydroelectric power stations, the weir canal and, among many other obstacles, even a football team. The highlight, however, is the ski jump, which of course has to be conquered uphill rather than downhill. This year's Mürzathlon offers a choice of five running distances. From the 5 km run for OCR beginners to the 42 km OCR marathon for professionals, the Mürzathlon has the right obstacle course for every fitness level. The run with the shortest distance has around 10 obstacles to overcome, while the OCR Marathon has a whopping 86 obstacles to conquer. In addition, up to 1,000 metres in altitude have to be conquered, which crowns the Mürzathlon.
