The full GGUT begins at 21:30, with the longest race starting in darkness before runners circle Austria's highest mountain. The North Face Grossglockner Ultra-Trail is a July mountain-running series held at Salzburger Platz in Kaprun, within Austria's Hohe Tauern National Park's Zell am See-Kaprun region.

The large loop encircles the Grossglockner, passing 14 glaciers, crossing 3 Austrian federal states, and running near 300 peaks exceeding 3,000 metres. The Grossglockner Trail commences in Kals am Grossglockner, following the mountain through the Dorfertal valley towards the Kaprun glacier area, while the Weisssee race remains within the Weisssee Glacier World. The event targets trail and mountain runners, with the primary distances suitable for older youth and adults. Separate Mini GGUT and Kids Trail Kaprun races are available for younger participants.
