RELAY-Competition
3 Team - Challenge
The START will take place together with the Schattberg Race - the ROUTE is identical to the marathon distance and the sections for 3 athletes are divided as follows
>> Athlete A - approx. 1,150 HM (red) / Athlete B - approx. 950 HM (blue) / Athlete C - approx. 910 HM (yellow).
We recommend the use of the Time2win-APP - for the localisation of the respective team athlete on the course and for optimal preparation & timing in the transition area!
The new relay competition, in which three athletes can share the marathon distance, celebrated a successful premiere in 2024. This new category is primarily intended to appeal to amateur athletes, training buddies and company teams. The concept and the division of the course - almost in equal parts - has been very well received and has proven itself in its implementation. We look forward to many more relay teams and attack rookies taking on the mountain attack in groups of three - Skimo Girls & Mountain Ladies - go for it!
The competition is aimed primarily at ambitious amateur athletes who have always wanted to tackle the MARATHON course of the Attack and can now tackle the race together. Here you can find the schedule and the division of the relay in detail:
1. No matter if women, men or mixed - you register as a relay of 3 and pick up your start number + chip & start gift on race day at the Hervis store in Saalbach.
2. You decide in advance who wants to complete which part of the course (athlete A - athlete B - athlete C).
3. The start will take place together with the Schattberg Race (16:05). Athlete A will climb the Schattberg, go to the Westgipfel and ski the downhill to Checkpoint 2 Hinterglemm (transition zone 1).
4. Meanwhile athlete B and athlete C will drive with their car to Hinterglemm to the parking lot of the Zwölferkogel.
5. Athlete A hands over the CHIP to athlete B in the transition zone, who then climbs to the Zwölferkogel and descends to the Hochalm.
6. Meanwhile athlete C + athlete A drive together by car to the parking lot of the Hochalmbahn.
7. Here, in transition zone 2, athlete B will again hand over the CHIP to athlete C, who will then tackle the rest of the course via Hochalm, Hasenauer Köpfl, Reiterkogel and the Bernkogel in the ascent, as well as the descent to the finish in Saalbach.
8. In the meantime, athlete A + athlete B drive back to Saalbach by car and await athlete C‘s arrival at the finishline.
