Zugspitz Ultra Trail by UTMB moves to a lottery system for 2027
For the 2027 edition, registration for Zugspitz Ultra Trail by UTMB moves to a lottery system. This change has been introduced to make the registration process fairer and more transparent for all runners, following the growing demand for bibs and the feedback received after the 2026 edition opening process.
2027 REGISTRATION DATES & PROCESS
5 to 12 October Enter the lottery through the official ZUT website by logging in with your My UTMB account.
14 October Lottery results will be available in each runner’s My UTMB account. There will be three possible results: positive draw, waiting list, or negative draw.
- Positive draw: Runners will have from 15 to 19 October to complete their registration details and payment. Any bibs that are not claimed by the deadline will be released back to the system.
- Waiting List: On 21st October, bibs released back into the system will be drawn again among runners on the waiting list. Second draw winners will then have from 22 to 26 October to complete their registration.
- Negative Draw: Runners who take part in the lottery and receive a negative draw for two consecutive editions will be granted entry for the third edition without having to take part in the lottery again.
27 October Once this second payment period has ended, if entries remain available, they will be opened to general sale without the need to go through the lottery process.
