Races and sports events: Oberstdorf

Oberstdorf lies in the Allgäu Alps, and most events here go uphill. The Nebelhorn hill run in July climbs from the valley station to the summit, the Allgäu Trail in September includes a sky course, and the Gebirgstäler half marathon in May heads into the Trettach and Oy valleys. For road cyclists, MYTRANSALP starts here in June, a seven-day crossing of the Alps to Riva del Garda.
