Zugspitz Ultratrail will be Live Streamed

Happening this weekend June 13-15, 2024 (quote below auto-translated):

Be there live at the largest trail running event in Germany, the Salomon Zugspitz Ultratrail 2024 powered by Ledlenser. We stream the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Trail, also part of the Golden Trail National Series. Moderated by Trail magazine editor-in-chief Denis Wischniewski and top runner Ida-Sophie Hegemann.

The Zugspitz Ultratrail is considered Germany’s largest “trail races” because the Rennsteiglauf isn’t really considered a classic ‘trail’ event, but rather a “cross country” event. The Zugspitz Ultratrail is hosted by one of Germany’s most classic alpine towns ‘Garmisch Partenkirchen’, home of the Winter Olympics in 1936, at the foot of Germany’s tallest mountain the Zugspitze (Well, Germany shares the summit of the Zugspitze with Austria). The Zugspitz was first held in 2011, and the main race circumnavigates the Zugspitz massif in similar fashion to the way UTMB goes around the Mont Blanc. 4,400 racers will be at the starting line across the six different distances and includes most of the who-is-who of German and Austrian trail running.

The Zugspitz Ultratrail in Germany/Austria is on the same weekend as Trail 100 Andorra (2,800 starters) and Trail du Saint-Jacques (5,700 starters) in France. Combined, these three events will bring 12,900 trail runners to their respective starting line. Oh, and add another 820 who will start at the Skyrunning Event in Madeira, part of the Skyrunner World Series. Absolutely incredible numbers.
