Zugspitz Ultra-Trail joins the UTMB World Series for the first time this year and the weather pooped their party in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and around Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Several distances had to get shorted and rerouted, turning the big festival into somewhat of a mess to report on. Bare with me as I try to make sense of all the various results listing and figure out who actually won in the various distances.
