Since the first edition, it is also possible to split the 216 km of the KRM between three athletes. Teamwork and planning are the most important components for a successful participation in this new discipline, in addition to the athletic requirements. The marathon course is divided into three sections of 49, 74 and 93 kilometres. The last section, 93 kilometres, is not only the longest, but with the Kitzbüheler Horn also the most challenging section in terms of sport. After the two athletes who started first have done the groundwork, it is time to close the bag on the steepest bike hill.
A detailed logistical concept and the corresponding know-how in planning and implementation are the basis for the successful running of this innovative format at the Kitzbüheler Radmarathon.
