The Early Years
2005Established in 2005, the Zugspitze Ultratrail Marathon is now 21 years old. From its first edition in Grainau, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in Germany.

The route combines exposed rocky terrain, alpine meadows, and technical trail sections with breathtaking views of the Bavarian and Tyrolean Alps.

レースの伝説
The Hills That Break You
With 2420m of elevation gain, the Zugspitze Ultratrail Marathon is not a course for the faint-hearted. The climbs are where races are won and lost — where the gap between training and undertrained reveals itself without mercy. Locals say the course doesn't beat you; it just waits for you to beat yourself.
Only the Committed Finish
The Zugspitze Ultratrail Marathon carries an "extreme" difficulty rating for good reason. The combination of terrain, conditions, and distance creates an event where finishing is a genuine achievement. Drop-out rates are high, preparation requirements are serious, and the line between adventure and misadventure is thin.
