The route of the Glocknerkönig runs right through the Hohe Tauern National Park.

At the latest, the breathtaking view during the ascent of the Großglockner should be clear to everyone:
The environment must be protected in order to continue enjoying its beauty.
 

Environmental protection is very important to us, therefore we have set the following actions:

• Merchandise shirts made of organic cotton
• Cups at the Labestadtion made of corn starch
• Kaiserschmarrn plates are sustainable, because they are made of renewable raw materials and compostable
• Kaiserschmarrn forks made of FSC® certified wood, biodegradable and compostable
• We pay attention to waste separation
• At least 50% of the garment bags are made of biodegradable material
• Printed materials are produced in the region
• disposable timing chips

Yes, during the race office hours on Saturday there will be an expo from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in front of the race office.
Many exhibitors offer Glocknerkönig specials, we are also represented with our merchandise stand.

It is best to pack a dry and warm change of clothes and a backpack (to carry your race clothes down to the valley) in your garment bag.
Remember to bring windbreakers, hats and gloves even if the weather is fine, as cold temperatures are to be expected in the high mountains (especially on the descent).

Yes, a team can be re-registered on Saturday in the race office.
Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to do so on Sunday.

This year we are using a disposable transponder for timekeeping for the first time. This is integrated into a seat post start number. The disposable chip has many advantages for the starter:

• You can keep the start number including the timing chip as a souvenir.
• You no longer have to return the chip.
• You save the fee for chip rental and the chip deposit.
• The transponder is equipped with the latest technology.
• The disposable chips are more environmentally friendly.

When it comes to environmental protection, we have taken an important step with the new disposable transponders:

• Significantly less plastic, metal and electronics built into the transponders. Of course, the active transponder can be used several times, but these also have to be disposed of and replaced after a few years.
• In contrast to active transponders, disposable transponders do not require a battery.
• ThinTags (extra-thin disposable transponders) are 75% thinner than normal tags. This results in less waste and less shipping space, which has a positive impact on CO2 emissions during manufacturing and transportation.
• Significantly lower weight and volume compared to active transponders, resulting in less CO2 emissions during transport.
• CO2-neutral production

You are welcome to drive your private car to the finish area before the roadblock to give the motivated athletes a proper welcome.
The road is closed from 7:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. from the checkout point Ferleiten to the Edelweißspitze.
