About the Event

Test your limits in the heart of Austria's alpine wilderness at the Ötscher Trail, a legendary three-day festival from June 12-14, 2026. As one of the country's oldest and most revered trail running events, it offers five epic individual races—from the explosive Vertical Race to the grueling Marathon Trail and technical Skyrace—plus the ultimate multi-day HERO and KING/QUEEN challenges. The courses carve through the stunning "Grand Canyon of Austria" in the Ötscher-Tormäuer Nature Park, featuring steep climbs, rugged ridgelines, and breathtaking descents. More than just a competition, it's a true community gathering where shared passion, a vibrant basecamp atmosphere, and the raw beauty of the Lower Austrian Alps create an unforgettable experience. Whether you're chasing points in the Skyrunner Austria Series, aiming for a national championship, or seeking your personal breakthrough, the Ötscher Trail delivers a pure and profound mountain running adventure. Secure your spot for a weekend where every step makes you a legend.
