Route

The new race route in 2012 is themed "altitude gain". In mastering it, you'll experience great Black Forest adventures within a small area: you'll struggle up heights and go down narrow paths, plunge into deep forest and open up to wide views, overcome obstacles and adjust to various routes and tracks. On the trail, you will also meet the six adventure elements that will each ask for your adventurous temper and team spirit.

You start with the bike course where you can choose beetween the Challenge (20 km / 1'038 hm) or Master Class version (30 km / 1'465 hm). On the bike course, you will find the first two adventure elements: first the mine and then the flying fox.

At the end of the bike route, right within the changing area (which is also the starting and finishing area), the bike parcours awaits you. 

After that you start right onto the trailrunning course (13 km / 687 hm Challenge or 21 km / 1'097 hm Master), where you first have to prove yourself with orienteering, then have to master the rope distance, before the last adventure element will await you in the finishing area: the obstacle course that challenges you one last time right before you cross the finishing line together.
