Description
From 8-10 September 2023, trail runners from all over the world will meet in the beautiful Gastein Valley for the grand finale of the season. #CelebrateTheSport is the motto of the adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS in SalzburgerLand/ Austria and it runs like a red thread through the event, which according to its participants "is so much more than just a race". In 2022, over 50 nations were at the start. However the field included only two Norwegians, so we hope to welcome more "vikings" in the years to come.
It doesn't matter whether you're experiencing your very first trail race as a beginner on the 15K loop or as an ultra-fan you’re scrubbing a whopping 5000 vertical meters over three Gastein peaks on the unique 60K route, at the @infinitetrailsrace all skill levels will enjoy a unique and unforgettable trail weekend. From the arrival in the Gastein Valley to the after-race Kaiserschmarrn party on the summit of the Stubnerkogel, you will be surrounded by passionate runners and running communities, enthusiastic spectators, caring volunteers and a perfectly coordinated organizational team. The special vibes can be felt by everyone.
Since its inception, the focus of the INFINITE TRAILS is the TEAM RACE. Here you do not only run for yourself, but for your teammates. Three runners start as a relay in the women, men, or mixed category. All teams must cover a total distance of 100 kilometers and 7,600 meters in altitude, divided into three different loops that consider different types of runners: Loop S = 21km/1900m - Loop M = 35km/2700m - Loop L = 44km/3000m. To have enough racing time in daylight for all three distances and as much "common time" as possible after the race, the three team members start at the same time in the morning.
Solo runners are also welcome at the adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS and can choose between three distances: 15K/900vm, 45K/3000vm or 60K/5000vm.
The shared experience is not only in the foreground in the team format. The entire race day is designed in such a way that the running community can share many special moments with each other.
In addition to plenty of vertical meters on fantastic single trails and around 350 highly motivated volunteers along the route, the race, which is organized with great attention to detail, offers runners an almost luxurious post-finish area with several saunas, a whirlpool, a swimming lake and a physiotherapy center for regeneration.
The Alpentherme Gastein is exclusively available to participants on the day of the race as an athletes' garden, free entry is part of the starter package. And to ensure that the last finishers can also enjoy the special atmosphere, the award ceremony takes place in the thermal spa – and seamlessly transitions into a huge party. At this time the Gastein volunteers, who worked during the day at the aid stations or as course marshals, will join the runners. A large trail community that celebrates the sport together.
