On 23 June 2026, 33-year-old Anton Palzer will complete a duathlon from Munich’s Marienplatz to the Zugspitze in 4 hours, 43 minutes and 46 seconds. The total distance covers 115 kilometres and 3,036 metres of elevation gain. The Berchtesgaden native will set off at 3 am, cycle 100 kilometres to the Reintal valley and run the final 15 kilometres – with 1,950 metres of elevation gain – along the Reintal route to the summit. The former professional cyclist with Team Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe is drawing on the fitness he built up during his cycling career for this project.
