Overview
Linz Donautrail runs out of Linz, Austria, challenging 100k runners with 2450 metres of elevation gain at an average rate of 24.5 metres of climb per kilometre. The 18-hour time limit demands an overall pace of at least 10.8 minutes per kilometre, a cut-off tighter than 43% of 100k races and more generous than 57%.
The route concentrates its technical demands early, packing ascents and descents across the first 55 kilometres before shifting into a flat 35-kilometre stretch along the Donau. Runners must sustain running rhythm through that sustained flat middle section before tackling late trail features like the Prinzensteig.
With 98 finishers in 2026, the event features a field bigger than 71% of 100k peers and smaller than 28%—giving participants plenty of company across a distinct two-phase profile.
