The Chiemgauer 100 mountain ultra is a natural trail adventure run that primarily uses alpine hiking and forest paths and features several significant and technically very difficult ascents and descents. It is modeled on the tougher American 100-mile landscape runs, but the main route is "only" a European 100 km. A "preliminary section" with its own supply 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 trails in the area.

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

What it does not have: cult of personality, media spectacle, age group classifications, press packages, prizes or entry fees.

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

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

Safety information

The run takes place at your own risk and responsibility on an unclosed or unsupervised route; there is local risk of fatal falls. On roads the traffic regulations must be obeyed and traffic observed. Participation should only be by those who dare to assess and evaluate alpine dangers in a racing atmosphere and to take the necessary consequences for their health. It may be necessary to stop the run independently or to interrupt it at an alpine hut, if, for example, natural forces (e.g. storm, lightning) make this necessary. The dangers include, without claiming to be complete: motor vehicle traffic, storms, lightning, slipping, falling, washed-out paths, mudslides, rockfall, mountain bikers, tree felling, vipers, grazing livestock, farm dogs... which can cause injuries up to death.
