"Ten years ago, our idea of combining two small races in Ischgl and Galtür into the Silvrettarun 3000 in order to offer participants not only a mountain marathon at almost 3,000 metres, but also magnificent views of the blue Silvretta with its 74 three-thousand-metre peaks, has more than paid off."At the anniversary run, runners could choose from a total of four varied trail running routes, each around ten kilometres apart, starting in Ischgl and finishing in Galtür. 147 fit runners competed in an exciting race through the impressive mountain landscape on the 40.195 kilometre marathon distance, where they had to conquer the almost 3,000 metre high Kronenjoch as well as 1,814 metres of altitude difference. The "Small" (11.2 kilometres and 306 metres in altitude), "Light" (19.36 kilometres and 873 metres in altitude) and "Medium" (29.9 kilometres and 1,482 metres in altitude) variants were also very well attended with 167 Medium, 123 Light and 145 Small participants, including Nordic Walkers. The total prize money totalled 14,000 euros.
