Ultramarathons, also known as ultraruns, are running events that exceed the classic marathon distance of 42.195 kilometers. These challenging races test both physical and mental endurance and are gaining popularity worldwide.
An ultramarathon is any running event longer than a marathon. Typical distances start at 50 kilometers and can extend to 100 kilometers or more. Some ultramarathons are time-based, where runners cover as many kilometers as possible within a set time, such as 6, 12, or 24 hours. Courses vary from flat asphalt routes to demanding mountain and trail courses.
Austria offers a variety of ultramarathons in breathtaking landscapes. Here are some of the most notable events:
Held annually in March in Linz, Upper Austria, this event offers distances of 22 km, 35 km, 65 km, and 100 km. The route follows the Danube River and includes both flat sections and challenging climbs.
In May, trail runners gather in Innsbruck, Tyrol, to tackle distances ranging from 15 km to 85 km. The courses take runners through the stunning mountain landscapes surrounding Innsbruck, offering breathtaking views.
This ultramarathon, held in June in Salzburg, features distances from 21 km to 112 km. Participants run through the picturesque Salzkammergut region, passing numerous lakes and mountains.
