The Hochkönigman is waiting for YOU.

At Austria's most popular trail running event in 2022 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?
