Marathon Trail

Marathon Trail

The race has been redesigned as one continuous loop through the Kitzbühel Alps, where it used to be two. From the centre of Fieberbrunn it passes the Gebra chapel on the way to Aurach, then follows the border between Tyrol and Salzburg before turning back to Fieberbrunn. The organiser describes the terrain as technical uphills and challenging downhills on varied trails, and says small course adjustments may still be made before the GPX is released.

With 3,100 metres over 52 kilometres this is a mountain marathon in the full sense, and 12 hours 30 minutes is a generous limit for it: the finish in Fieberbrunn stays open until 19:30. There are no intermediate cutoffs on the race page, and the food and drink at each stop are listed in the organiser’s aid station plan. It is a good step for someone who has run trail marathons and wants proper alpine height without a night.

This page belongs to the 2027 Marathon Trail. A single loop means the runner disappears from Fieberbrunn in the morning and is out of sight until the finish. On Livebib the runner shares a link to their own broadcast, and friends and family follow in a browser, with no app or account: position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates on every climb. When the phone loses signal along the border ridge, the position is carried forward along the course and marked estimated rather than freezing.
