8th GORE-TEX® Transalpine-Run
1st to 8th September 2012
Prettau – Sand in Taufers
Eight years of GORE-TEX® Transalpine-Run
Starting in Ruhpolding, Germany, the whole Transalpine circus is travelling through Austria to Sexten in Italy. In eight stages, all participating pairs will once again experience a scenically outstanding route. (The routing has nearly 320 kilometres in distance and about 15.000 metres of elevation.)
The GORE-TEX ® Transalpine-Run, since its premiere in 2005, is one of the greatest challenges for mountain and trail runners and it has the reputation of an internationally staffed, highly professional and emotional event for all participants. The route leads up to 3000 meters high mountain passes and through beautiful valleys across the main Alpine ridge.
On its own feet across the Alps - the GORE-TEX ® Transalpine-Run gives all nature lovers and alpine mountain-, marathon-, triathlon- and trail-runners a lifetime experience.
