Registrations for the Ötzi Alpine Marathon are in full swing

OC boss Peter Rainer is amazed. No wonder: at the end of February, 110 individual participants had already registered for the Ötzi Alpine Marathon - and the number is rising. “We have never had so many enrollments at this point. And what makes me particularly happy is the fact that eleven women have already registered for our alpine extreme triathlon. I attribute this to the fact that we have equalized the prize money. This is certainly an additional incentive for many extreme athletes to take part in the Ötzi Alpine Marathon,” says Peter Rainer.

In addition to the hefty bonuses, there are plenty of other reasons to take part in the Ötzi Alpine Marathon. Firstly, there is the matter of exploring one's own limits. Then every starter has to prove their all-rounder qualities. The 42,2 kilometer long route with 3266 meters of altitude has to be covered by mountain bike, then with running shoes and finally on touring skis. The Ötzi Alpine Marathon is also unique when it comes to the diversity of vegetation: from the apple blossom in Naturns it goes higher and higher to the finish in the eternal ice at Grawand, which is the bert station of the Senales Glacier Cable Cars. These are reasons enough to complete the Ötzi Alpine Marathon on your own. Like the winner of 2004 and 2014 Roland Osele, and last year's winner Anna Pircher, both of whom have long since registered again for the 2016 edition.

Ten seasons reported

If the Ötzi Alpine Marathon is too strenuous for you as a solo competitor, you can also take part in the renowned South Tyrolean extreme sports event in one of the many teams of three that take part in it every year. To date, ten relay teams have registered, split between the three sports of mountain biking, running and ski mountaineering.

There are plenty of training opportunities in Naturns and the surrounding area for runners and mountain bikers. The organizers of the Ötzi Alpine Marathon are particularly proud that the Schnalstaler Gletscherbahnen, as an important partner of the extreme sports event, offers all athletes the opportunity to climb from Kurzras to the Grawand on touring skis on Tuesdays from 18.30:22 p.m. to 18.30 p.m. During this time, preparation of the valley run and to the Grawandspitze will be suspended. “These two slopes are closed to ski tourers until 22:XNUMX p.m. and after XNUMX p.m. – just like on the rest of the weekdays,” the OC boss concludes.
