Relay Run 14.5 km + 8.5 km
Two Runners, One Goal: Complete the Achensee Run as a Relay Team
Running with a partner is simply more fun! Team up for the Achensee Run and tackle the course together as a two-person relay. The first stage is 14.5 kilometres on a flat gravel and asphalt route. The second stage is shorter at 8.5 kilometres but much more challenging, requiring you to overcome 208 metres of elevation gain on a varied trail. The Relay Run starts on 7 September at 10.00 at the fire station in Pertisau. To get ranked, the first relay runner must arrive at the refreshment station in Achenkirch by 11.45 (cut-off time). The second runner must reach the finish line in Pertisau before 14.00.
The race number will be handed over between runners A and B. A race number wristband is required for this; you can use your own if you have one or purchase one when you register.
