Although the Corona pandemic has put a stop to most trail running events, some smaller races in less affected (or cautious) places are still taking place in 2020. We had initially planned the Mozart 100 in Salzburg as our main event for the year, but its cancellation freed up time to hike the UTMB trail in 4 days in June (still images video). We also signed up on short notice for the Innsbruck Alpine Trail Run festival, offering several routes from 7km to 110km around Innbruck. IATF touts itself as the big trail running season opening, but postponement due to the pandemic has turned it into more of a season closer. While a fair amount of the courses are on asphalt and gravel forest roads, there is still a surprising amount of easy trails to be ran. Not feeling up for the maximum challenge, I opted for the 61k/1900m D+ medium distance, while my brother did the 42k/1700m D+ course.
