Yesterday, Friday at 20:11, after 26:11:15 hours, Stefan Schaffer from Austria arrived at the finish line at the village square in Fieberbrunn as the overjoyed winner of the KAT100 Miles over 173 kilometers and 9,996 meters of altitude. There was also a jubilant mood at the Kids Trail at the village center of Fieberbrunn.

On Thursday at 6 p.m. the starting signal was given for the KAT100 Miles, the longest Ultratrail in Austria, in Fieberbrunn. Accompanied by thunderous applause and unmistakable cheers, the 130 trail runners set off on the course. The KAT100 Miles is held both as an Austrian championship and as a qualifying race for the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), which is why the performance density is also enormously high. In addition to the premiere winner of 2019 Florina Vasutiu (ROU), Florian Probst (winner 24h Hochkönigman) and Esther Fellhofer (winner Traunsee Bergmarathon 2021) are also at the start, which are undoubtedly to be counted among the tightest circle of favorites. Local hero Markus Reich will try to hold his own against the international running competition. 173.7 kilometers and 9,996 meters of altitude lie ahead of the athletes. The first finishers were already expected on Friday around 9 p.m., after approximately 27 hours.
