Mountain sports: multifaceted extreme relay race

Peak To Creek 2015

April 25th 2015, Oetztal Valley (Austria)

From winter to summer, from snow to water, from the

mountain to the valley – with a new route and event format, multi-sports

competition Peak To Creek at Tirol’s Oetz Valley goes into its sixth

edition. Ski mountaineering, alpine skiing, mountain biking, mountain

running, rock climbing, road bicycle racing, kayaking and rafting: the

adrenaline-packed competition for teams of seven is a one-of-a-kind

outdoor relay race that takes the participants across 90 km through the

heart of Tirol. On April 25, 2015, it leads them from the snow-covered

starting area at Rettenbach Glacier to the cold waters of Oetztaler Ache

river and on to Area 47. The 2015 Peak To Creek field includes lots of

international pro athletes, such as road cyclist Jan Ullrich (GER),

Olympic mountain bike champion Bart Brentjens (NED), vice world slalom

champion in alpine skiing, Manfred Moelgg (ITA), 2012 Olympic white

water kayak silver medallist, Vavrinec Hradilek (CZE), MTB Enduro

champion Alex Stock (GBR), Austrian ski mountaineering champion, Alex

Fasser (AUT), world canoe slalom champion Fabian Doerfler (GER), 2014

Tour of Austria winner, Thomas Rohregger (AUT), and free solo climber

Hansjoerg Auer (AUT). For the first time, ambitious amateurs will get

the opportunity to challenge the international athletes and compete in

„rookie teams“ in front of the fantastic backdrop of the Oetz Valley

mountain ranges.
