Selected alternatives for you

The ultramarathon Chiemgauer100 is rightly well known far beyond the borders of Bavaria. The route leads through the wonderful mountain world of the Chiemgauer Alps on beautiful paths and often with great views. The long-established organization team provides excellent service for the athletes! It is worth registering early to secure one of the sought-after starting places!

The Chiemgauer 100 mountain ultra is a nature trail experience run that mainly uses alpine hiking and forest trails and includes several notable and technically very difficult ascents and descents. It is modeled after the tougher American 100-mile landscape runs, but the main route is "only" a European 100 km. An "intro" with its own support for an extension to 100 miles is possible. The run has taken place almost unchanged since 2005.

The route only touches a few points accessible by car and tries to connect the most beautiful natural running routes of the area.

25 km before the finish you can choose an official shortcut option to 80 or 141 km by skipping the last mountain.

What there is not: star cult, media spectacle, age group classification, press packages, prize or starting money.

What there is: prizes drawn among all 100+ km finishers, trophies for the first 3 women and men of the 100 km routes, finisher T-shirts for all routes, pasta party, dedicated helpers and an unforgettable experience.

A virtual flight along the route can be done with Doarama.

Safety information

The run takes place at your own risk and responsibility on an unclosed and unsupervised route, with locally existing deadly fall hazards. Traffic regulations (StVO) must be observed on roads and traffic must be considered. Only those who trust themselves to assess and evaluate alpine dangers in a race atmosphere and to draw the necessary consequences for themselves and their health should participate. It may be necessary to stop the run independently or, for example, to interrupt at an alpine hut if natural forces (e.g. storms, lightning) require this. The dangers include, without claim to completeness: motor traffic, storms, lightning, slipping, falling, slid paths, mudslides, rockfall, mountain bikers, tree felling work, vipers, grazing livestock, farm dogs... which can cause injuries up to death.
