At the same time last year in January, some 22,000 cyclists registered to take part in the starting place raffle of the \u00d6tztaler Cycle Marathon. In the end, only 4,226 cyclists from 36 nations (341 women, 3,885 men) could fulfill their dream of the 227 kilometer long marathon myth covering 5,500 altitude meters. While in previous years the number of registrations usually leveled out at 15,000, this year a historic high of 25,198 requests was reached. The number of nationalities is also impressive as cyclists from no fewer than 50 countries have registered!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But only around 4,000 will receive their starting ticket, which will be drawn as part of the official raffle in mid-February. Every single cyclist has to conquer the four high alpine passes of K\u00fchtai, Brenner pass, Jaufen pass and finally the 29 kilometer long ascent to Timmelsjoch before reaching the finish line, cheered by many spectators in S\u00f6lden, \u00d6tztal valley. &#8220;The majority of registrations again came from Germany, but we have received requests from all parts of the world and from more countries than ever before. This is proof enough that the legend of the \u00d6tztaler Cycle Marathon is unbroken. We are also constantly introducing innovations in order to create an even more impressive experience for all cycling fans,&#8221; states Dominic Kuen, head of the organizing committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Specialized as new main sponsor!<\/strong><br>The organizing team is also pleased to announce a new main sponsor. &#8220;As one of the world&#8217;s leading manufacturers of performance bikes and innovative bicycle technology, Specialized embodies everything that the \u00d6tztaler Cycle Marathon stands for &#8211; passion,&nbsp;joy and the pursuit of top performance. Since its founding in 1974, the US company has repeatedly set new standards in cycling and inspires professionals and amateur cyclists alike. It is a really great honor to welcome Specialized as the main sponsor of the \u00d6tztaler Cycle Marathon 2025,&#8221; Kuen concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More details:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soelden.com\/en\/events-leisure-tips\/events\/oetztaler-cycle-marathon\">https:\/\/www.soelden.com\/en\/events-leisure-tips\/events\/oetztaler-cycle-marathon<\/a><br><strong>Pictures:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/media.oetztal.com\/pinaccess\/pinaccess.do?pinCode=I7b1s7X0U5c0\">https:\/\/media.oetztal.com\/pinaccess\/pinaccess.do?pinCode=I7b1s7X0U5c0<\/a><br><em>The use of our pictures is free of charge for advertising purposes regarding \u00d6tztal.
