Madrisa Trail Klosters Presented By Lowa

27.03.2024 | After the successful inaugural year 2023 for the Jetzendorf-based outdoor specialist as the main and name sponsor of the Madrisa Trail Klosters presented by LOWA, the collaboration is entering the next round. With four distances for the first time in the midst of an unrivalled mountain and natural backdrop, fans of alpine trails will get their money's worth and experience trail adventures at their best.

A SUCCESSFUL START

The Madrisa Trail Klosters 2023 presented by LOWA has already more than lived up to its reputation as one of the most spectacular trail run competitions. With 326 starters, the event recorded an increase of more than 30 per cent compared to the previous year. There was even a 40 per cent increase in the highly challenging T54 distance.

New partner LOWA was also highly satisfied with its debut in Klosters: "This is the right race for our shoes," summarised Christian Zingg, CEO of LOWA Switzerland. Zingg himself successfully finished the T24, as well as several LOWA TRAIL Racers athletes and employees who celebrated their competition debut at the Madrisa Trail Klosters.

By supporting this event, the outdoor company is creating visibility for its new, high-quality trail running product family and showcasing the brand with the new ATR models in the Swiss canton of Graubünden on an international level.

MAGNIFICENT NATURAL SCENERY MEETS SPECTACULAR TRAILS

For the first time with four different distances, the competition will be held on 9 and 10 August 2024 in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. In addition to the familiar T24 and T54 trails, there are two new routes in the portfolio this year: T11 and T33. The T11 is a short, 11-kilometre run with great views over Klosters, which is particularly appealing to trail running beginners. The T33 requires technical skills in alpine terrain. There is no chance of boredom on the varied route, which is 90 per cent trail. A breathtaking view awaits trail runners, especially at the highest point of the route - the Rätschenjoch. The tried and tested T24 scores points with a varied 360-degree panoramic trail with a total of three suspension bridges. The T54 is perfect for anyone looking for a trail running challenge. The longest distance also marks the supreme discipline of the Madrisa Trail and takes runners over 4000 metres in altitude and four peaks up to the Rätschenhorn against a spectacular backdrop and fantastic panorama.

LOWA TRAIL RACERS TEAM STRONGLY REPRESENTED

Several LOWA Trail Racer athletes were already at the start in 2023. Sandra Saitner, who came second in the Master Woman category on the T24 Trail, was delighted: "The event is super professionally organised and still has a family atmosphere. I love trail events that have retained this atmosphere. The size of the event and the spectacular backdrop make the Madrisa Trail an absolute must-join event for me." Now it's time for the next challenge: "After the T24 last year, I really want to tackle the T54 route. The technically demanding and scenically attractive route is particularly appealing to me."

Selina Bebi also took part in the competition last year and came third in the women's category on the T24 Trail. "What particularly appeals to me about the Madrisa Trail are the varied trails through the beautiful mountain landscape. This makes the competition a perfect mix of sporting challenge and pure enjoyment." "My highlight from the Madrisa Trail 2023 was the "LOWA Sprint" on route T24. A challenge that pushes you to your physical and mental limits."
