Nordkette Vertical Run
Distances
6.7km
About this race
The Nordkette Vertical Run covers 6.7 km in Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria, ascending the Nordkette range above the city. This September event begins at 10:00 AM with a straightforward format: participants run steeply uphill on a course described as reaching the “roof of Innsbruck.” The gradient is significant, peaking at 78%. The race is also recognized within the ITRA Cup.
The course combines a short distance with substantial elevation gain, positioning it as a vertical mountain challenge rather than a standard road race. Participants find themselves with the city below and the steep Nordkette slopes above, a characteristic that distinguishes it from typical alpine village races. Established in the late 2010s, the event is now a fixture in Innsbruck. It is organized by Verein zur Förderung der Bewe, with its official site at nordkette-vertical-run.at.
