Jochen Uhrig is the Stelvio King - Edeltraud Thaler is the Queen

The starting signal was given promptly at 8.30 a.m. in Prad for 450 marathon runners with an international field of participants from 17 nations. Afterwards, 160 Classic runners and 70 march participants set off on the 26 kilometer route. There was a double premiere at the finish: Jochen Uhrig, who ran his personal best time of 2:25.31 in Frankfurt, reached the finish in 3:45.30 in his first mountain marathon as the winner of the premiere of the Stelvio Marathon. In the first conversation after crossing the finish line, he reported that the last three kilometers were the hardest for him, but the moment of crossing the finish line in front of this panorama was incomparable.

Shortly after the German, South Tyrolean Gerd Frick reached the finish line in 3:48.25, closely followed by the Swiss Christoph Schefer (3:48.37).

Uhrig, who had chosen the right strategy and saved energy in the first few kilometers, was still in sixth place at the half marathon point in Stilfs, almost three minutes behind the leader at the time, Marco Ferrari. It was only in the last few kilometers in the bends that he made up a few positions bit by bit and ran to victory.

In the women's race, Edeltraud Thaler from Merano won over the 42,195 kilometers and 2.350 meters in altitude with a running time of 4:30.46. Her half marathon time in Stilfs was 1:45.15, at which point she was in second position. The former winner of the Brixen Marathon and participant in the Jungfrau Marathon described the Stelvio Marathon as a unique experience. She gives the tip to run slowly for the first 2 kilometers so as not to lose too much energy. Because these are extremely important for the following trail and forest path sections and especially the last bends on the pass road. She was very happy about her victory on what she emphasized was a demanding course of the Stelvio Marathon.

The women's podium was completed by second-placed Swiss Paola Vollmeier (4:41.36) and Italian Francesca Scribani (4:48.40) in third place.

A German also won on the shorter route of the Classic. Andreas Schinder completed the 26 kilometers and 2.250 meters of altitude in 2:43.49. He was followed by the Italian Marco Maini (2:47.18) and the South Tyrolean Roland Osele (2:48.58).

As in the marathon, South Tyrolean Agnes Tschurtschenthaler won the women's classic course. In fifth place overall, she reached the finish in 2:49.56, around 25 minutes ahead of second-placed Giulia Bongiovanni (3:14.08). Elisa Almondo crossed the finish line in third place in 3:20.24.
