About this event

The Brocken-Challenge is an 86-kilometer ultra road event that takes runners from Göttingen through the Harz Mountains to the legendary Brocken summit in mid-February. With 1,900 meters of elevation gain, this winter challenge demands solid ultra experience and winter running skills. The route climbs steadily through forests and alpine terrain toward Germany's most mythical peak, often shrouded in mist and snow at this time of year. This is an event for seasoned ultra runners looking to test themselves against distance, elevation, and potentially harsh winter conditions. The combination of road running with significant climbing makes it a unique challenge in the German ultra calendar.
