Alternative Date for the Hochkönigman
3rd to 5th of September 2021
----
They say that winners never give up and so we too are not giving up and have already selected a replacement date for the Hochkönigman 2021 to allow you enough time to plan. Should it not be possible to go ahead on the original date due to the health situation, we will make the decision at the start of May 2021 to instead host the event from 03.09. to 05.09.2021.
Of course, we are aware that other events are already planned for the weekend of 03.09. to 05.09.2021. We are basing our decision on the calendar of the International Skyrunning Federation, the Skyrunning World Series and the numerous events already taking place over the various weekends. If the event is postponed and you are unable to make the new date, we will offer you various options for your starting place which will be communicated to you by email if the postponement does go ahead.
Until we make a decision, we will be working hard and giving our all for the Hochkönigman to go ahead, as planned, from 04.06. to 06.06.2021 and no doubt, you are also 100% prepared.

At Austria's most popular trail running event in 2021 a wide variety of trails will again be offered. The Speedtrail with its 22 kilometres length attracts beginners and experienced runners alike and offers the perfect trail running experience at 1,277 metres altitude.
For endurance runners, the marathon trail with a length of almost 50 kilometres and 3,070 metres of altitude difference awaits. Here you can prove that you are made of the right wood! The Marathon Trail demands endurance, consistency and all your efforts. As a reward, you will be rewarded with the most beautiful views of the Hochkönig Massif, which awaits you with all its pure power!
Hard Core experience for Hard Core athletes: the Endurance Trail goes over 85.3 kilometres at an altitude of about 5,160 metres and demands everything from the participants.
The "higher, faster, farther feeling" is for all those who dare to approach the Hochkönig Skyrace powered by Merrell, which will be held for the first time in 2018.
With its length of 32km 2,685hm+ it leads high into the Stone Sea.
The Hochkönigman: event schedule
New since 2018 is the extended EXPO and event area. It offers the athletes even more space for preparation and follow-up. For the public, the new grounds offer more space to be there and for the varied show program of the Hochkönigman. The gastronomy and trade fair area should not be missed, and in 2021 new products and top products for trail running will also be on offer here.
How could you end an exciting Hochkönigman weekend better than with a cosy and delicious Sunday brunch at the TOM Almhütte?
