Holytrail

Holytrail is a pilgrimage-route trail event finishing in Mariazell that offers a choice of two distances under the Holytrail brand. The event follows sections of the historic Pilgerweg to Mariazell and is presented as an outdoor trail experience with scenic and challenging options. Participants may expect a strongly local, pilgrimage atmosphere combined with organised support including shuttle logistics and staffed aid stations.

The 2026 edition on 14 May 2026 features a 70 km running route and a 20 km scenic run/walk, both finishing at the Terrasse der erLEBZELTEREI in Mariazell. The organiser states a midnight cut-off and a finish area opening from around midday, and registrants receive a finisher medal. Aid stations provide water (participants must bring their own drinking vessel), isotonic drink, energy bars and fruit; the event explicitly requests no single-use cups.
