A quick twist, a small stumble – trail running is not actually dangerous, but even minor injuries can have massive consequences, especially when running in the mountains. Not to mention serious injuries such as a broken bone. But what do you do when you’re up on the mountain and the doctor is down in the valley? Matthias Hoeter, head of the PLAN B Medical Crew, shows you exactly what to do.
- Thursday, May 22, 2025, 14:00 and 16:00 in the finish area in Grän

Recovery
by BLACKROLL®
Recovery is essential, especially in stage races like the LTT, as your muscles have to carry you over the trails and mountains day after day. Not only are various BLACKROLL recovery tools available to participants at the finish line every day, but two professional BLACKROLL trainers will also show you after the second stage how to get certain runner complaints under control again – so that you can run smoothly and carefree again the next day!
