Overview
Organised by SV 1928 Veitshöchheim e.V., Germany's Maintal-Ultratrail took runners through 64 kilometres of trails along the limestone slopes above the Main. An 11-hour time limit demanded an average pace of 10.3 minutes per kilometre across 1700 metres of elevation gain, setting a cut-off tighter than 69% of 50mi peers and more generous than 31%.
With 26.6 metres of ascent per kilometre, the profile required sustained climbing without tipping into extreme mountain territory. Drawing 110 finishers in its 2026 running, the event fielded a turnout bigger than 75% of comparable 50mi races and smaller than 24%, maintaining a 10-edition history established since 2015.
