Robert Urban: "During this time, my partner Annelieke also caught the ultramarathon bug. Sharing these grueling, long-distance races with her became a profound source of motivation. Despite our rigorous preparation, we were still apprehensive about the race—the thought of running for over 20 hours through the night, facing cold and rain, filled us with dread. Would our legs hold up? Would our stomachs manage? Did we pack enough clothing to stay warm at 2,100 meters? Would we make the cutoff times? But no amount of fatigue or pain could stop us. Without a doubt, best day of my life."

Over 2,000 legs took on their personal challenge and explored the Pitztal trails. Many of them have safely conquered the Pitztal Glacier thanks to our snowline Spikes. The highest point is the Mittagskogel-Scharte at 3,070 m, followed by a spectacular glacier crossing to the Braunschweigerhütte. Hardly any race suits snowline better than the PAGT with its glacier crossing.
