GROSSGLOCKNER ULTRA-TRAIL BY DYNAFIT

Austria’s highest mountain, the Hohe Tauern National Park, hot spots like Zell am See-Kaprun, Kals am Großglockner, Uttendorf-Weissee, Heiligenblut and Fusch an der Glocknerstraße form the backdrop of the Grossglockner ULTRA TRAIL (GGUT), which will be held for the ninth time from July 25 to 28, 2024.

Mostly on single trails you will cross the Alps twice, over clear mountain creeks and along the 14 glaciers through the beautiful high alpine landscape of the National Park Hohe Tauern. The trails run through 3 federal provinces, 7 valleys and 6 villages, passing 14 glaciers and 300 peaks over 3,000m all around.

“There are five competitions are between 16 and 110 km long,” says organisation head Hubert Resch. “Thus, we offer trail beginners as well as more experienced runners and elite athletes ideal conditions to challenge themselves in the Hohe Tauern. In addition, there are also Kids-Runs, making the GGUT an adventure-like weekend for the whole family.”

Over the years, the stars of the scene such as Daniel Jung and Andreas Reiterer from Italy, Hannes Namberger, Rosanna Buchauer and Ida-Sophie Hegemann from Germany, Florian Grasel, Gerald Fister, Esther Fellhofer from Austria, but also Kirsten Amundsgaard Hindhammer from Norway and multiple winner Jordi Gamito Baus from Spain have delivered exciting and attractive competitions on the courses of the GGUT.

“We are working on having a great field of participants at the start again next year, but the GGUT lives from every single athlete who comes to us”, Resch specifies.

The main sponsor of the event is again DYNAFIT in 2024.

“Every year on the last weekend in July, Kaprun transforms itself into a sensational trail running scene for the Grossglockner ULTRA-TRAIL. We are happy to be there as a main partner since the first edition. For DYNAFIT, clear positioning around the mountain theme is important. With the GGUT we support a competition that fits perfectly with the brand, the trails are alpine, steep and fast,” explains Michael Hankl, Marketing Manager DYNAFIT Germany/Austria/Switzerland. “With the GGUT, there is also the fact that the cooperation between us and the organizers has grown for eight years and we feel that we are part of the project and thus part of this unique trail adventure. We are looking forward to the GGUT 2024!” 

“Our main focus is on the participants,” Resch emphasizes. “For them, we want to create an unforgettable experience, and we are honoured that we keep receiving positive feedback. This encourages and motivates us to continue to develop and make the event better and better.”

In 2024, the GGUT will again be a get-together of top international runners and around 2000 runners from more than 40 nations. An unforgettable experience and a fantastic trail weekend for everyone is guaranteed.
