About Kaprun Scenic Trail

Kaprun Scenic Trail is the 16.0km trail race at Grossglockner Ultra-Trail 2027 (Kaprun, Austria). The race starts on July 23, 2027 at 08:30 AM. It starts and finishes in Kaprun. The time limit is 3 h 30 min.

Race strategy

Run the climb at race pace, build your speed on the downhill, and go all out at the finish.

  • Steep 29% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Final 888m descent. Save your legs to go all out on it.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and start the final descent from 8.5km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.3km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 2.3km–8.5km · Climb of 972m, high point 1659m. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Home · 8.5km–15.1km · Descent of 888m averaging 14%. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Very long descent: first half under control, then even, let go only near the end.

Course

The course climbs 1000m+. With 63m/km of climbing, this is a true mountain course with sustained climbs and descents. By gradient, 29% of the distance is uphill, 39% downhill and 32% flat. The longest climb runs 8.5km at an average 11.4% grade (972m of vertical). The longest descent runs 6.5km at an average 13.6% grade (888m of vertical). The steepest climb averages 29.0% over 1.6km.

Summits

The highest summit on the course is Bürgkogel (950m), 3.0km from the start.

Poles

Trekking poles are strongly recommended: about 3.4km of the course is steep enough for them to pay off.

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is low (index 16 of 100): a few descents worth noting, none of them decisive.

  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and start the final descent from 8.5km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
  • 8.5–15.0 km · 888 m D−, -13.6% · 0.0 km ahead → even, first half under control, let go at the end
