Garmisch‑Partenkirchen and surrounding Zugspitz region, Bavaria, Germany
The Zugspitz Ultra Trail by UTMB is billed as Germany’s biggest trail running event and is part of the UTMB World Series. Held in and around Garmisch‑Partenkirchen, the festival attracts over 5,000 athletes, around 50 exhibitors and thousands of spectators across three days. The event presents seven race options, officially advertised as ranging from 16 kilometres to 100 miles, and combines a competitive race programme with a lively expo and festival atmosphere.
Races traverse the alpine Zugspitz region and connect nearby towns including Ehrwald, Leutasch, Mittenwald, Grainau and Garmisch‑Partenkirchen, featuring significant elevation gain and technical mountain trails. Title partners and visible supporters on the event site include Salomon and Ledlenser alongside a broader sponsor cohort, and organisers publish race guides, mandatory equipment lists and logistics information on the official event pages. The format suits a wide spectrum of trail runners, from shorter mountain outings to ultra‑distance challenges, with aid stations, bag transport options and on‑course support provided as described on the official site.
