Vertical race

The vertical of the Schönleiten-Trophy 2018 will be started about half an hour before the Individual Race. The track will be the second, right ascent of the individual race, starting at the middle station of the Schönleiten-Bahnenat 1450 m and the finish at the Wildenkar peak at 1.910 m.

There will be prices for the fastest racers, as well as prices for the winners of the average-time-challenge and there will also be a draw for sume pricez, available for all starters.

The vertical is perfect for people, who want to watch the individual race, but also want to do have an own sporting activity this day. Both is possible, if you will attend in the vertical race.
