Zugspitz Ultratrail 2025: The new 100-mile adventure begins!
The first starts for the popular Salomon Zugspitz Ultratrail 2025 have taken place. On Thursday, June 12, 2025, the event weekend began with the challenging 100 mile runners taking to the course. The trail running event, which has developed into a real hotspot for sports enthusiasts over the years, is very popular. Sports enthusiasts from all over Europe travel to experience the backdrop of the Zugspitze and the challenging course that takes them through breathtaking landscapes.
The highlight this year is the introduction of the ZUT100 – a 100-mile race that covers a distance of 164 kilometers and features over 8,000 meters of elevation gain. The participants had 42 hours to complete the challenging route around the Zugspitze. The prerequisite for participation was the successful completion of a race of at least 100 kilometers, which makes the challenge even greater.
A weekend full of trails
Friday was another exciting day with the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Trail, the Zugspitz Ultratrail and the Ehrwald Trail. The Mittenwald Trail, the Leutasch Trail and the Grainau Trail took place on Saturday. These trails are not only a test for the athletes, but also offer spectators unforgettable views of the surrounding nature, including idyllic mountain lakes and majestic peaks.
Trail running is becoming increasingly popular in Europe, especially in the Alpine regions. As sport-conrad.com reports, many runners are drawn to natural trails instead of asphalted roads in order to be able to enjoy the feeling of freedom in nature. No wonder that the event in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is considered one of the most popular trail running events in Europe.
State-of-the-art technology for participants
Another aspect that sets the Zugspitz Ultratrail apart from other events is the use of modern technologies. Family and friends can follow the participant status live via an SMS service. As soon as a timing mat is passed at an aid station, the relatives will receive a message. Live tracking is also available via a Racemap partner app, so that those interested can track the current position of the runners on the Datasport tracking map. However, it is advisable to take a power bank with you to ensure that the smartphone remains accessible at all times.
On the official website of the Zugspitz Ultratrail you will find continuously updated information about the results and the participants. The event is not only a sporting challenge, but also a family festival that fascinates participants and spectators alike.
It is clear that the Zugspitz Ultratrail 2025 opens another chapter in the success story of this trail running event. The breathtaking backdrop, the community of runners and the exciting technology make this event an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
