About the race
The Engadin Ultra Trail is a multi-distance trail running event in the Upper Engadin around Samedan, Zuoz, La Punt and nearby villages. It is held over two days in mid July and offers varied mountain trails, marked routes and several aid stations along the way. Distances on offer include:
- 16 km
- 23 km
- 53 km
- 102 km (also available as a new two-person relay with a handover in La Punt)
Courses use daytime and fluorescent night markings for orientation and include distance signs and direction arrows at key junctions. Runners pass through village centres and high alpine sections such as the Chamanna d'Es-cha area, and finish in the Promulins Arena in Samedan. The event provides multiple aid and first aid posts, and some stations carry material for basic emergency care.
Participation rules require signed athlete declarations, compliance with race markings and volunteer instructions, carrying mandatory equipment as stated in the regulations, and returning closed gates after passage. Own drinking cups or bottles must be used at aid stations. On race days the start number also serves as a free public transport ticket within specified engadin mobile zones. Detailed timetables, cutoffs and the full reglement are published with the event information. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
