The athletes went on technically demanding trails over five distances of 16 to 110 kilometers in mixed weather conditions. The organizer of the race adjusted the route of the supreme discipline GGUT on Friday due to a thunderstorm warning - the runners started at 10 p.m. on the route, which was 6 kilometers longer. More than 400 helpers (mountain rescue, fire brigade and volunteers) ensured the safety and food for the trail runners at the Grossglockner ULTRA-TRAIL® powered by DYNAFIT.
