Overview
The Ultratrail Fränkische Schweiz Ultratrail, a 102km trail race, will take place in Ebermannstadt, Germany, on April 23, 2027. Runners face 4100m of elevation gain, which averages to 40m of climb per kilometer. This makes it a demanding course, but one that allows for a strong pace if runners can manage the terrain.
Runners have 21 hours to complete the 102km course. This time limit translates to a 12.4 minutes per kilometer cut-off pace. This cut-off is more generous than 76% of 100k races, but still tighter than 24% of its 224 peers, so it allows for a steady but not leisurely pace.
