We love it dirty!
The “Krone” Erzberg Adventure Days
The countdown is on: On July 13, 14 and 20, thousands of amateur and professional athletes will start their journey to the Styrian pyramid in Eisenerz, when the "Krone" Erzberg Adventure Days will once again be called "Feel the mountain".
During the 8 km, 16 km and 24 km distances, the dirt runners throw themselves over the largest heavy-duty trucks in the world, into turquoise-blue mud ponds and overcome up to 60 other unique obstacles built into the natural landscape. At the legendary Erzberg Run & Nordic Walk, the hard-fought view from the summit of the Erzberg over the Eisenerz Alps awaits as a reward.
The Erzberg is one of the annual highlights for many dirt runners and walking enthusiasts. And it's hardly surprising, because the Styrian Pyramid, as the mountain is also known, only opens its doors once a year and no other running event in the country offers athletes such spectacular views.
We love it dirty on the first weekend!
Not only the enduro motorcycle heroes conquer the "Iron Giant" at the Erzberg Rodeo, but also thousands of fun and professional athletes at the Erzberg Dirtrun. While the 8 km fun distance on 13.7. will be easy and fun with 40 obstacles, on 14.7. the mountain will demand everything from the professional dirt runners over 60 obstacles on the 16 & 24 kilometers. For those who can't get enough, this year we have the Erzberg Weekend Warrior Challenge.
Three events will be completed in one weekend (8 km, AT&S Vertical Iron Sprint & 24 km) and the fastest of all events will be crowned Weekend Warrior. All competitions can also be completed together as a team.
Tougher-steeper-awesomer - AT&S Vertical Iron Sprint
The toughest vertical sprint in the world is only around 180 meters long, but with a 97 percent gradient. The winning time for the men is 1:50 minutes and 2:42 minutes for the women
Erzberg Run & Nordic Walk has long since achieved cult status
Austria's largest mountain running and Nordic walking event was voted the most popular mountain running event by participants years ago. The running route is as spectacular as the world's largest pyramid. Serpentine by serpentine, up to 30 meters high, the participants wind their way up to the summit. They run through abandoned tunnels, but also through Europe's most modern tunnel research center on the mountain of the Montanuniversität Leoben. Passing turquoise-green mud ponds, you reach the summit after around 12 kilometers and a manageable 650 vertical meters - including a breathtaking view of the Eisenerz mountains.
Running and Nordic walking athletes can expect the kind of atmosphere they only experience at major cycling events on the last 300 meters before the finish line at the summit. Cheers from hundreds of spectators and a personal greeting from the voice of the Erzberg, the legendary presenter Erhard Skupa, make for an unforgettable experience. Several drinks stations along the route and a good portion of Erzberg pasta at the end provide the necessary energy boost. The return journey - and here too the Erzberg is special - is comfortable for everyone with shuttle buses. After a hot. After a hot shower and a cool Gösser, the day ends with an atmospheric award ceremony.
Registration is open
Not only the athletes are fascinated by the Erzberg, but also the many visitors. With their own shuttle buses, visitors are taken to the obstacle highlights of the Dirtrun and even to the summit of the Erzberg Run & Nordic Walk, allowing them to experience this spectacle up close and cheer on their loved ones. This year, a shuttle will also be offered so that rail travelers can get directly to the Erzberg. Online registration for the individual competitions is still open until July 7th!
