The anniversary Ultra Marathon
run, held in 2011 was a huge
success. Positive discussion after the race finish
on the Gornergrat
has never really silenced. For that
reason, on the 6th July 2013, the Zermatt Ultra Marathon will be run for the
second time.
While the
runners of the Zermatt Marathon pass the chapel
on the Riffelberg
and have the finish within reach,
the runners of the Ultra Zermatt Marathon will still
have exactly 3.4 kilometers and 514 high meters to achieve.
The view from the Gornergrat at 3’089 meters is unique and will compensate for all the efforts.
Go on - it's worth it to
get hold of one of the 600 starting places of the Ultra Zermatt Marathon.
