Spectrum: On July 18th and 19th, the Großglockner mountain duathlon will take place for the first time ever (we reported). After the traditional mountain run is already fully booked and more than 500 places have also been reserved for the Bike Challenge, those interested in duathlon must also hurry: There are just under 100 starting places left.
The mountain duathlon classification is limited to 400 participants and combines the long-established classifications mountain running and bike challenge - a very special challenge. More than 300 participants from 13 countries have already registered. It shouldn't be too long before the duathlon will be sold out: “The Grossglockner Berglauf is sold out for the first time. As already suspected, the duathlon ranking will also be sold out in the next few weeks." says organizer Julius Rupitsch.
Mountain running and Bike Challenge both start in Heiligenblut. While the mountain run then leads the participants over forest motorways and trails over 12,9km and almost 1.500m to the Franz-Josef-Höhe, a very special highlight awaits the cyclists, namely the car-free Grossglockner High Alpine Road. This will also lead the participants up to the Franz-Josef-Höhe in front of a wonderful panorama over 17,3km and 1.345hm.
