The race against the Schafberg cog railway goes on the in the 13th round. After the successful comeback of the run to the top of the Schafberg Mountain this year only real sportsmen will beat the mountain peaks of the Schafberg.
The challenges are extraordinary in any case: with gradients up to 26% and 1240 m height difference it is one of the toughest mountain races in Austria.
Cog wheel railway vs. Runners
2007 Helmut Schmuck succeeded in getting the course record from 1986 to improve to one seconds. The minimum time is now at 43:03 minutes, and clearly under the time of the cog railway ride (45 minutes). Last year again more than 100 participants where running. Mrs. Margit Egelseder won for the 5th time one after another.
Best alpine runner was Mr. Stephan Kogler (46:15)
Endorphin distribution guaranteed
Not only the view of the magnificent alpine panorama and of five lakes in the Salzkammergut spur on the best extreme sports-athletes. Already more than 20 years ago the run was one of the absolute adventure race among races. Also this year he will again demand runners. Only real "Wade grosbeak" can do it with the target of the Schafberg and the new course record.
The route
By starting at the bottom station of the Schafbergbahn at 9:30 a.m. (540 m) the time is running. Along the railway tracks the runner passes the Dorner and Schafbergalpe, always aimed at the peak of the Schafberg (1,730 m) forward. The track has a lot to offer: from lush green pastures to screes with numerous switchbacks and steep paths to vertical sloping rocks. Not the distance of 5.8 kilometers ensures tension, but the approximately 1,240 meters in altitude, some with gradients up to 26% to overcome. The athletes have to arrange their forces. Whether this year the record could be broken again, the award ceremony at the Hotel Schafberg will show.
