Ebbser Koasamarsch 2026 in Tyrol – Hiking and Trail Running, June 13

Last updated on 20.02.2026

Revival of the anniversary route “KOASA-55-Panorama-Trail” over 55 km, new course director, and discount promotion for groups.

The Kaisergebirge, known locally as the “Koasa,” is sacred to the people of Ebbs. And rightly so, because the mountains in Tyrol on the border with Bavaria are a protected nature reserve. For this reason, there is a limit of 1,200 registrations for participants. On Saturday, June 13, 2026, the Ebbser Koasamarsch will take place for the 56th time.

International and cult – The hiking and trail running event in Kufsteinerland in Tyrol is considered one of the oldest hiking and mountain running events in Austria. Accordingly, the organizing team around WSV Ebbs (Alpine section) still has a wealth of experience. In 2025, the Koasamarsch celebrated its 55th anniversary, in honor of which the anniversary route “KOASA-55-Panorama-Trail” with 55 km and almost 4,000 meters of elevation gain was initiated. The spectacular scenic route set new records. At last year’s completely sold-out Koasamarsch, Germany’s Kimi Schreiber won impressively with a time of 7:42:42. This made her the fastest of all on the anniversary route. Among the fastest men, Austria’s Daniel Hauser finished behind Schreiber with a time of 7:49:42.

Trails for winners and enjoyers

Whether you have your sights set on victory, are looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush, want to enjoy the camaraderie of hiking in a group while taking in the imperial landscape, or simply want to be part of the action—the Ebbser Koasamarsch has something for everyone. There are three trail running competitions to choose from – from the KOASA-55-Panorama-Trail with 55 km and 3,900 meters of elevation gain to the KOASA-Classic-Run (33 km/1,910 m) and the challenging KOASA-Höllenritt (20 km/1,000 m). Those who prefer to go at their own pace can choose the classic hiking routes of 33 km or 20 km – both with the same key data as the running competitions. For nature lovers and families, there are also two valley hikes: the “12er” with 12 km and hardly any elevation gain, and the “5er” with 4.2 km as a short loop. This means that everyone can find the distance that suits their personal Koasa experience. Due to the positive feedback – especially regarding the scenic beauty – the organizers have decided to repeat the anniversary route. It will now become a permanent fixture of the Ebbser Koasamarsch, replacing the marathon route. Fantastic trails await, and with 3,900 meters of elevation gain, it will also be a great challenge for all trail running enthusiasts. The route will be optimized with adjustments to the refreshment stations.

New route manager – Pfluger replaces Sevignani

Following the anniversary edition of the Ebbser Koasamarsch, the previous course director Jürgen Sevignani is now handing over the reins to his successor Gerhard Pfluger from WSV Ebbs. Sevignani was instrumental in the development, expansion, and safety of the hiking and trail running routes together with organizing committee boss Andreas Moser. The anniversary route in particular bears his name. Sevignani recalls times when there was still snow on the route in May or when they worked countless hours marking the route with paint buckets. Pfluger knows this too, as he has also been actively involved in the organization since 2018. He is looking forward to his new role as course director and can hardly wait: “There is still snow up there. We will have to wait until the end of April or beginning of May before we can walk the courses and inspect them.”

Joint running evening at the “Community Trail Run in Kufsteinerland”

The Kufsteinerland Community Trail Run will take place again in 2026. This time it will be a one-off event, but it is guaranteed to be unique. The joint run will take place on the evening of Thursday, April 23, 2026. The Kufsteinerland Tourism Association, together with the Koasamarsch organizers, the digital trail running medium “Alles Laufbar.de” and “thenex runclub” from Kufstein, invites you to an open running evening starting and finishing in Kufstein. Depending on your preferences and level, everyone can find a trail running route. This will be followed by a community evening, where an expert from the trail running scene will once again be on hand as a guest to offer valuable tips.

Register now rather than later

Registration is already underway and proving very popular. Even though there is still some time until the official registration deadline on June 12, 2026, it is still important to be quick, as the limited number of starting places are selling like hotcakes. Of the total 1,200 places, 155 are available for the “KOASA-55-Panorama-Trail.” In addition, prices will rise again from April 1, 2026, and that’s no April Fool’s joke. If you register by March 31, the “33-Hike” costs € 56 and the “55-Panorama-Trail” or “Classic-Run” costs € 71. 

The starting prices are fair considering the services included: numerous refreshment stations during the race, a medal, high-quality goodies, and, of course, many priceless impressions. As every year, the best possible safety precautions and medical care will be provided.
