Who is in so far
The first start places are taken. The start list shows who is confirmed for every race.
A trail moves house
A new home: St. Veit im Pongau
After many unforgettable years in Schwarzach, our trail event is moving to the Salzburg sun terrace: from 2027 we run in St. Veit im Pongau – as the Sonnenterrassen Trail.
The heart of it all is the market square in the middle of the village: this is where the gun goes off, this is where the finish waits, this is where the trail beats on event day – with the event centre, food and drink, music and the best atmosphere in the Pongau.
The date is fixed: Friday to Saturday, 21 to 22 May 2027. The anticipation? Already running.
The event centre at the market square
Short distances, one meeting point
At the Sonnenterrassen Trail everything is within walking distance: race numbers are handed out on the first floor of the Gemeindestube (TVB, Markt 12) — right on the market square. The race office is on the ground floor in the tourist board’s office.
The briefing and the organisation team are at home in the function room of Hotel Metzgerwirt, just a few steps from the start. In between there is plenty of room for coffee, music and meeting trail friends again — before the start, and even more so afterwards.
The essentials at a glance
-
Start & finish at the market square
Every race starts and finishes at the market square in St. Veit im Pongau – in the middle of the village, in the middle of everything.
-
Three distances
Trail K11, K35 and K53: from a first trail adventure to the long loop across the sun terrace. You will find the GPX download, elevation profile, map and aid stations on the race pages.
-
Race number collection
On the first floor of the Gemeindestube (TVB, Markt 12) — from 17:00 on Friday and from 06:00 on event day, staggered by race.
-
Showers & changing
After you cross the line, showers are available at the sports facility; toilets can be found in the municipal building and in the bars and restaurants.
-
Aid stations along the course
On every distance, aid stations keep you supplied with drinks and snacks. Each race page lists where they are, with the kilometre mark for each one. Important: your own cup is mandatory — there are no disposable cups at the aid stations.
-
Prize giving & party
In the evening we celebrate every finisher on the market square stage – and then celebrate the first Sonnenterrassen Trail together.
Be there from the very first edition
Make a note of when registration opens – if you are there from the start, you will be at the front of the first edition in St. Veit.
Opens on 4 November 2026 at 10:00
Registration is open! Secure your place for the first edition on 22 May 2027 – K11, K35 or K53, starting at the market square in St. Veit.
Online registration has closed. Remaining places – if any are available – can be had on event day at race number collection in the TVB building (Markt 12).
Registration closed
The courses are set — elevation profiles and GPX files online
Start and finish are fixed: the market square in St. Veit im Pongau. The courses follow the tried and tested Schwarzach routes and will be run clockwise in 2027. You will find the map, elevation profile, GPX file and all the aid stations on the race pages for K11, K35 and K53.
ITRA points and UTMB Index
The Sonnenterrassen Trail is listed with the ITRA (International Trail Running Association). The distances per ITRA measurement differ slightly from the official course data and are therefore labelled as such here.
| Race | Distance per ITRA measurement | ITRA points |
|---|---|---|
| K11 | – | none |
| K35 | 34.62 km | 2 |
| K53 | 54.08 km | 3 |
The K35 and K53 are also registered as UTMB Index Races (UTMB World Series). The K11 is too short to be listed with the ITRA, and the Dorf-Run and the Sumsi children’s races carry no ITRA points either. The official course figures remain those on the race pages (AllTrails): 53.4 km and 2,808 m of ascent for the K53, 34.3 km and 1,566 m for the K35.
