New: The VERTICAL RACE

For the first time, a Hochkönig trail race starts not in Maria Alm, but in the charming mountain village of Dienten am Hochkönig – setting an exciting new tone.

Expect a steep, direct vertical climb into alpine terrain – short, brutal, and rewarding.
This race demands power, focus, and pure leg strength.

The VERTICAL-RACE isn’t just another trail – it’s a statement.
It’s for those who crave vertical meters, seek new limits, and thrive on raw mountain energy.

Another milestone in establishing Hochkönig Ultraks as the most progressive trail running event in the Alps.
