Want to try the hard tour? Zell am See-Kaprun offers a sneak preview of the courses for the Trifecta races and the European Spartan Championship
This week the organizers of the Spartan European Championship 2024 in Zell am See-Kaprun on September 7th gave a preview with news about the challenges the competitors will have to overcome as well as more details about the Trifecta races on three levels - from hard, harder and hardest - on the weekend of September 6th-8th. Children can participate in special kids races. Spartan races, like the Trifecta challenge, have been held in special locations around the world in mountainous terrain as well as, not so often, on urban courses since 2010 and are designed around a physical development plan to improve performance through training. In addition to the races, Spartan also offers workout events, such as one on August 22 in Vienna, where 'Spartans' or aspiring Spartans train with a coach.
To earn the Trifecta medal, for example, three races of varying difficulty - Sprint, Super, Beast - must be completed within one year. For each of these, participants will receive a medal and a special wedge that is actually one-third of a full medal. The three pieces snap together to form one medal (on view at https://race.spartan.com/en/pages/trifecta).
The Trifecta races as well as the Kids races for children 4 years and older with age appropriate running, climbing, jumping, etc. will take place on the same weekend as the Spartan European Championship 2024 in Zell am See-Kaprun. It's been announced that the participants of the upcoming Trifecta Sprint, Super, Beast races will tackle up to 2000 meters of elevation gain against the backdrop of the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier. In a recent press conference, Salzburger State Councillor Martin Zauner emphasized that up to 4,500 athletes, about 25 percent of them women, from 40 nations will be coming to the Pinzgau region. The European Championship course in Zell am See-Kaprun is tough: 21 kilometers, 30 obstacles and 2000 meters of altitude. It leads from the Maiskogel parking lot in Kaprun, around the Klammsee lake, up to the Dreiwallnerhöhe on the Maiskogel and back again.
