Overview
Held in Viersen-Süchteln, Germany, the Süchtelner-Höhen-Ultra was a 100k trail event featuring 1000 meters of elevation gain across 10 meters of climb per kilometer. With a 20-hour limit requiring a 12-minute-per-kilometer pace, the cut-off was more generous than 72% of 100k peers and tighter than 28%, giving participants substantial breathing room over the rolling paved and packed trail surface.
The multi-lap layout divided the 100-kilometer distance into 15 long loops of 6.4 kilometers alongside 1 shorter loop of 3.6 kilometers. Gathering just 3 finishers in 2026, the event sat among the smallest in the discipline—smaller than 95% of 100k fields and bigger than only 3%—offering an unusually quiet loop format for an entry fee of 50 Euro.
