Our Brand Ambassadors

The two athletes Virginia and Philipp are well known in the Instagram sports scene. With postings about fitness and healthy eating they show their communities how one can stay in shape. We are proud to introduce these two (really likeable, motivated and great people) as our Brand Ambassadors! Check out  Virginia und Philipp's profiles and see how they are preparing for their very personal adventure at Erzberg!


By the way: In 2022 the two of them conquered the Erzberg together! However, Virginia has already conquered the Styrian Pyramid in 2021 at the 8 km dirtrun and the grin couldn't to be washed out of her face - no matter if crawling through the mud pond or at the Erzberg Dirtslide! In 2023 Philipp conquered the mountain of iron with friends, while Virginia interwieved some of our athletes.


We are looking forward to the legendary „Krone Erzberg Adventure Days“ 2024!

The Haulys

11.5 meters long, 5.5 meters wide and 4.5 meters high. The Haulys are real monsters and probably the most massive obstacle you will ever overcome at a dirt run. But not only the Haulys themselves, but also the Hauly tires with a diameter of 2.6 meters are going to stand in your way.

The mud ponds

Splashing around in a construction container isn't even half the fun! Natural mud pools are waiting for you and will get you really dirty for once.

We guarantee real fun!

The tunnels

The Erzberg lures you to its inner core and shows you some of its most beautiful tunnels which once served the miners as extraction routes. The 8 kilometer distance takes you not only over the mountain, but also through it. The name "Hell's Gate" tells it all.

Information for your participation

  • Participation criteria
    Minimum age People over the age of 16 are eligible to participate. People under the age of 18 must hand in a signed declaration of consent from a person with parental authority when collecting the starting numbers.
  • Course
    The AT&S Vertical Iron Sprint takes you over the steepest and most challenging section of the Erzberg dirt run course - up the famous "water pipe". At the Erzberg Rodeo/Red Bull Hare Scramble, the toughest off-road single race in the world, the "water pipe" mercilessly throws off dozens of professional riders every year and has always been considered one of the central "stumbling blocks" in the course of the race. At the Erzberg Dirtrun, too, the water pipe is the crucial sticking point right at the beginning of the course. If you make it, you will continue on a breathtaking course with up to 60 more obstacles. If you don't make it, the fun was short-lived and you get to try your luck again next year. Now it's going to be tougher than ever: cover the 180-meter course over Erzberg scree as fast as possible and climb 92 meters of altitude on an extreme incline. The steepest section measures 97%, but even on average you'll have to fight against a gradient of over 50%!

  • Important information for participants & visitors
    Proper clothing & footwear: You will be in high alpine terrain at Erzberg. Make sure you wear sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing - it's best to wear a double-layered suit, as temperatures can fluctuate greatly between the valley and the summit. Besides: the mountain is full of surprises! From the past years we know that the Erzberg likes to show itself from different sides. From 30 degrees and sweltering heat to a wintery snow-covered summit landscape, everything has been there, even in summer. So be prepared for all weather conditions.
