About the race
The Innsbruck Alpine Trailrun Festival (IATF) takes place in Innsbruck from 05.05 to 08.05.2027 and is organised by Club Laufwerkstatt. The festival combines a programme of races across a wide range of distances with an expo, side events and services for participants and visitors.
Races cover distances from short verticals and town trails to long ultramarathons. The elite Trail Hunt is run in a pursuit format and is part of the festival prize structure with a total prize purse of 30,000 EUR. The Young Talents Race is aimed at U23 athletes and follows varied mountain trails with views over Innsbruck. The Business Trail is scored for three person teams in women, men and mixed categories. A Kids Trail is part of the festival programme.
On-site services and festival features are listed centrally at the Landestheater Vorplatz in Innsbruck and include an expo with food trucks, product tests and programme items, a baggage depot, start number collection and mandatory equipment checks. Some race starts and race administration take place at the Muttereralm Talstation in Mutters. The festival also offers night starts for the longest races, dropbag handling for K110 and K85, a mandatory race briefing for several main races and hop-on hop-off cheering buses for spectators.
