In ran this marathon in 2025. I was so happy to just finish this one. It rained most of the time and got cooler from the start to finish. The race advertised as 50% asphalt and 50% gravel trails. I’d say it was more like 65% gravel trails. It had already been raining pretty much nonstop for two days before the race, so the trails were in bad shape in a lot of places – puddles, mud, rocks, etc. The mostly flat course is very beautiful taking you through valleys in the Alps in the Allgau region of Bavaria, Germany. However it was hard to really take in the scenery because I was constantly looking down to watch my step on the gravel trails. The hydration stations were every 5K, a few stations only had water & no sports drink. The sports drink was not replenishing my electrolytes & sodium much, and my performance began to suffer just over the halfway point. My performance decreased significantly after 20 miles, and I really pushed myself to finish the last 4 miles, finishing in 4:06. If you run this race I’d definitely take your own hydration, pray for good weather, and hope the trails are in better condition.
