The heart and absolute hot spot is the climb up at the "Seebichl" ...  It's only a hill - get over it! The running course at the lake measures 5 km, you run 2 big laps and a smaller one until you can proudly cross the finish line.

Use of neopren:

Regarding neoprene, we would like to point out that the decision on the use of neoprene will be made by the technical officals shortly before the start of the race. The decisive factor is the water and air temperature.
