The AT&S Vertical Iron Sprint takes you over the steepest and most challenging section of the Erzberg dirt run course - up the famous "water pipe". At the Erzberg Rodeo/Red Bull Hare Scramble, the toughest off-road single race in the world, the "water pipe" mercilessly throws off dozens of professional riders every year and has always been considered one of the central "stumbling blocks" in the course of the race. At the Erzberg Dirtrun, too, the water pipe is the crucial sticking point right at the beginning of the course. If you make it, you will continue on a breathtaking course with up to 60 more obstacles. If you don't make it, the fun was short-lived and you get to try your luck again next year. Now it's going to be tougher than ever: cover the 180-meter course over Erzberg scree as fast as possible and climb 92 meters of altitude on an extreme incline. The steepest section measures 97%, but even on average you'll have to fight against a gradient of over 50%!

Proper clothing & footwear: You will be in high alpine terrain at Erzberg. Make sure you wear sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing - it's best to wear a double-layered suit, as temperatures can fluctuate greatly between the valley and the summit. Besides: the mountain is full of surprises! From the past years we know that the Erzberg likes to show itself from different sides. From 30 degrees and sweltering heat to a wintery snow-covered summit landscape, everything has been there, even in summer. So be prepared for all weather conditions.
