Translating to ‘calf burner’, the Arlberg “Wadlbeisser” event brings hard-core obstacle course racing to athletes willing to test their limits. Are you ready to test your toughness with epic challenges in stunning scenery?
“Sightseeing the tough way” is the philosophy of this new event. Buckle up. The 13.5-kilometer course is peppered with 24 epic obstacles designed to both challenge and thrill. Apart from tackling 700 vertical meters, participants will encounter wooden walls and water basins, climbing, crawling and challenging obstacles all the way round—all while running through a combination of forests, meadows and ski slopes. The demanding course winds through the pretty village center of St. Anton, past the local heritage museum, along the art mile and boasts breathtaking mountain views—if only you could catch your breath from facing the many obstacles.
Moreover, there will be a shorter, fun 7K race format offered on August 31, 2024, opening up obstacle course racing to a wider audience of fitness enthusiasts but still give the wow factor of the original, with 300 vertical meters and 15 obstacles to master. After the award-giving ceremony at 5:00pm, participants will get to party in the pedestrianized main street of St. Anton.
