▬▬ 📒 Description ENG ▬▬▬▬
I’m first time at the toughest mountain bike marathon in Austria. It is the most beautiful and at the same time the most difficult marathon I’ve ridden.

The “All Mountain” or D – Strecke is titled as the hardest course, with 59 km and almost 2000 m of elevation and the highest percentage of singletrails and technical sections of all tracks on the Trophy.

If you’re like me, and like challenges and tech beyond typical XC courses, this marathon is definitely for you! Give it a try!

On the competitive side, I’ve finished as 56th of 130 competitors, and 21st in the M30 category.
