Tackle one of Europe's most extreme winter ultras on a legendary German peak at the Brocken-Challenge on February 14, 2026. This formidable 80-86km charity race starts in Göttingen and demands that experienced ultrarunners conquer the snow-covered Harz Mountains to summit the Brocken, battling severe winter conditions, deep snow, and a relentless 14-hour time limit. Feel the profound sense of purpose that comes from participating in a unique event where 100% of entry fees are donated to social projects, and runners are encouraged to secure personal sponsors for each kilometer conquered.
Experience the exclusivity and rigorous preparation of a lottery-based entry system, where only 150-180 slots are granted to those who apply in November 2025. The race is a true test of self-sufficiency, with strict mandatory gear including a phone, headlamp, and emergency rations, emphasizing safety in the remote, alpine environment. This is more than a race; it's a pilgrimage for seasoned winter athletes seeking an unparalleled challenge that blends immense physical difficulty with significant charitable impact. Secure your lottery application for a chance to join a legendary winter adventure where every step supports a greater cause.
