COURSE UPDATE

We have been working in close consultation with GeoSphere Austria, the national meteorological service , alongside the mountain rescue teams as we monitor the weather for the next few days.

Current weather forecasts predict challenging mountain conditions, including high temperatures and thunderstorms/lightening storms in exposed areas. Based on this information and the recommendations of the relevant authorities, we are making adjustments across all courses. These changes are designed to bring projected finish times forward and reducing athlete exposure during the period when conditions are expected to be most severe. Our priority, as always, is to keep athletes, staff and volunteers safe while still delivering a high-quality race experience for everyone involved.

These decisions have not been made lightly. We understand the dedication and preparation you have invested, and we are committed to minimizing the impact while prioritizing your safety above all else.

Please read the updated race information carefully and stay connected to our official channels for any further updates.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
• START: Thursday at 20:00 (unchanged)
• ROUTE: You will now run a revised course instead of the original ZUT 100 route. This adjustment avoids the more exposed areas of the original course. The total distance will now be 107 km with 5280M+.
• COURSE DETAILS: The revised route offers a challenging and scenic course through the mountains, while keeping you away from the highest-risk areas during the forecast weather window.
IMPACT ON SCORING
UTMB INDEX: This adjusted route will be scored separately from the 100 miler category. The race will be classified under the 100K category.
RUNNING STONES: Running Stones points will be awarded based on the actual course completed. We understand this may be disappointing for athletes who were aiming for 100 miler qualification. We appreciate your understanding.
