Kaiserkrone Trail

Kaiserkrone Trail is an event put on by the local tourism region to promote itself and is part of the Skyrunner World Series. I added this event to this weekend’s list of incredible races, because it’s in a really beautiful region of the Alps, the Wilder Kaiser region, but also because it’s such a classic example of how trail races are thought of in the Alps. This race doesn’t even have its own website. They are part of the Skyrunner World Series and offer several distances for “the whole family”. They provide live tracking, but aside from that its aim is to bring heads into beds of the local region. And it’s successful at that. Roughly 2,000 people will be at the start of the various races over the weekend. There are no big name sponsors directly attached to the event, other than Merrell being the sponsor of the Skyrunner World Series.
