Germany’s premier trail running event, the Salomon Zugspitz Ultratrail, will return from June 18 to 20, 2026, offering athletes a variety of ultra-distance challenges. Events include the grueling 164 km ZUT100, the 106 km Ultratrail, and progressive shorter courses like the 86 km Ehrwald Trail and the 16 km Grainau Trail—each with significant elevation gain to match the alpine terrain. Registration opens mid-November 2025: November 11 for the longest distances and November 12 for the shorter sweeps, providing runners ample opportunity to secure a spot. This multi-day festival of trail running combines high-caliber competition with the breathtaking mountain scenery around Zugspitze, fostering both performance and community.
