Classic mountain running returns to Heiligenblut

The WMRA World Cup reaches a key mid-season point this weekend with the Grossglockner Mountain Run, one of the classic mountain-running races on the international calendar.

Set in the heart of the Hohe Tauern, the race starts in the village of Heiligenblut and climbs towards one of the most recognisable mountain landscapes in Austria: the Grossglockner, the Pasterze glacier and the high alpine road leading towards the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe.
