ULTRA HIKE Remstal 24-hour hike

This event is for anyone who wants to test their physical and mental limits but doesn't want to train for Iron Man right away. For anyone who wants to experience something extraordinary. In short, the ULTRA HIKE Remstal is for YOU! Anyone who wants to take on this sporting challenge can participate in the Ultra Hike Remstal. Whether you are an individual, a family, or a group of friends, club or work colleagues, recreational or competitive athletes—everyone is welcome. At 12:00 noon, the starting signal will be given in Waiblingen at the STIHL Markenwelt for our long-distance hike. The circular route takes us 81 kilometers west towards Schorndorf, to Adelberg, and back to Waiblingen. A total of approx. 1,400 meters of elevation gain and approx. 1,400 meters of elevation loss through our beautiful Remstal valley. The first hikers will cross the finish line in Waiblingen the next morning. Everyone who reaches the finish line can not only be proud of their own great achievement, but also receive a special medal and certificate. Together with the other hikers, you can then enjoy a coffee and a pretzel, talk about the trickiest parts of the hike, and celebrate your success together. This year, there are again two ways to participate in the 24-hour hike. 1. You hike on your own and can set your own pace. Shortly before the tour, you will receive the exact route as a GPX file. You must then download this to your cell phone and merge it with the appropriate app. The route is also marked at prominent points. 1. You can hike the long distance hike in comfort accompanied by a mountain guide. Team spirit is required here. You will not receive a GPX file; the guide will lead the group to the finish at a comfortable pace. There will be 7 refreshment stations along the way where you can take a break. All stations will offer different refreshments. The costs are included in the registration fee. There will be a hot dinner and midnight soup. Still mineral water will be available at every station, and coffee and isotonic and caffeinated drinks will be available at some stations. Fruit, pretzels, and yeast bread will also be available at selected stations. A toilet trailer will be available at all refreshment stations. Anyone who wishes to discontinue the tour for health reasons can take a shuttle from the refreshment stations to the nearest S-Bahn station. From the halfway point, a Red Cross team will also be on hand to look after your health and well-being. In September, all participants will receive meeting point information, a short packing list, and more detailed information about the individual refreshment stations. We will send the GPX file by email 1-2 days before the start. We assume a hiking speed of 4-6 km/h.
