When the Stubai Ultratrail (SUT) is held for the sixth time on 1 July 2023, it will be the first time with SCOTT as a partner. The internationally renowned sports brand will not only be represented with equipment in the exhibition area, but also with runners on the SUT routes. Once again, there will be five different distances for mountain and trail runners to choose from under the motto "city2glacier".
The sixth edition of the Stubai Ultratrail offers participants and spectators something new as well as something familiar. New is partner SCOTT, already tested are the five routes that are on the programme at the SUT 2023 between 29 June and 1 July.
SCOTT has been active in the trail running sector for many years and consistently develops its running products. "When developing new products, feedback from athletes and runners is one of the most important parameters for us. Events such as the Stubai Ultratrail enable us to collect such feedback directly and use it optimally. One result of this is the "Ultra Carbon RC". A lightweight, robust and our most advanced trail running shoe to date. Perfect for trail running competitions!" explains Charlotte Borelbach from SCOTT.
The fact that interest in trail running and outdoor running in general is growing strongly is also felt in the Stubai Valley. "2023 is the year of running events in the Stubai. At the beginning of June, we will be co-hosting the World Mountain and Trailrunning Championships with Innsbruck. In July, the Stubai Ultratrail with SCOTT will take place and then at the beginning of September, the international Schlickeralm Run in Telfes. We are proud and happy that the landscape of the Stubai Valley is so popular with runners from all over the world," explains the chairman of the Stubai Tourism Association, Adrian Siller, enthusiastically.
