Ischgl Ironbike Extreme 2023 🥇- Highest Marathon in Alps?

  / strava  
One of the most beautiful and difficult marathons on the schedule. With a starting altitude of 1350m and hitting 2750m twice Ironbike is a special one.
This year we had to battle also the bad weather. Rain and wind combined with cold temperatures made this a tough day.
