The Glocknerkönig

Glocknerkönig cycling and running event

From Bruck and Ferleiten up to the Fuscher Törl at 2,428 m above sea level

What an athletic feat: those daring to take another shot at the “tour de force” on the Grossglockner are really determined! You have three different options to be crowned “Glocknerkönig” or king of the Glockner. The combined classification with the Grossglockner Bike Challenge leading from Heiligenblut to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe is new. We will introduce you to the Glocknerkönig classic & light and inform you about the Glockner road run. Let’s go!

Glocknerkönig classic: from Bruck to the Fuscher Törl

The classic version of the Glocknerkönig takes you along 27 km of road. It starts on Bruck village square and leads across 1,694 highly multifaceted and pretty strenuous altitude metres with a gradient of up to 12%. The food point on the Piffkar at km 20 provides a welcome break. Your performance in the previous two years – and, ultimately, race management, determine your starting block.

Glocknerkönig light: from Ferleiten to the Fuscher Törl

The starting point of this shorter version of the race is at Ferleiten road charge desk with a sporty programme of 12.5 km of 1,330 altitude metres. Glocknerkönig classic and light have time-delayed starts in order to guarantee optimum biking conditions for both contests. Both races are open to amateurs and pros grouped into various age categories. Starting block regulations are the same as those for the classic race.
