POSTS STORIES REELS

It’s official: joining the @mammut pro program! 🦣✨

When you’re running through 400km+ of unforgiving terrain, your gear isn't just equipment—it’s your best friend. It’s the lifeline that keeps you moving when the weather gets wild and the miles get long. 🏔️

I’ve always admired the craft and Swiss engineering behind Mammut’s gear. It’s designed to handle the extremes, allowing us to venture further and stay longer in the environments we love.

So grateful to be able to move deeper into the mountains with Mammut's support. Let’s see where these trails lead! 🙌🏃‍♂️

Goldsteig Nord Route , 415k and 13.000 hm in 147 hours and 9 minutes (FKT) 🏔️✨! Will need some time to process this epic adventure: 3 countries 🇦🇹🇨🇿🇩🇪 many summits above 1000m, technical trails, pure wilderness including isolation and temperatures up to 33 degrees.

But most of all, I would like to thank the golden ultra team for all the unconditional support (Lotti, Gab, Jet, Seb & Erik!). We really had a great time out there together for days after each other. That forms a really special bond. Without you it would not be possible. My heart is full💛🎗️. A report will follow later

The past three days were indescribable♥️. This picture is taken on friday, marrying at the muncipality of our favorite ski town. On saturday we celebrated with Kaiserwetter and had a ceremony at the summit cross of our favorite mountain and slept with all friends and loved ones at the mountain hut with a sky full of stars. Thank you to everyone who made it so unforgettable and traveled from all over the globe.

Lotti & Daniel

Gotland 511 km run around this beautiful swedish island in the baltic sea✅🇸🇪.

I was looking forward to this adventure the entire year. The concept of the run is very special, as it is based on the Volstate 500k in 🇺🇲 and has the blessings of Gary Cantrell, also known as Lazarus Lake, the founder of the Barkley Marathons. Someone I deeply admire. I am so glad founder Peter Schröder brought this race format to Europe. It is a masterclass in self-sufficiency, with sometimes more than 100km between aid/angel stations. It starts and ends in a prison. You have to carry everything you need and are responsible for your own decisions on the road. When a heavy storm hit the island , destroying cars and making trampolines fly, the race was not cancelled, but the principle of self-autonomy and self-sufficiency was furthermore honoured. You had to make a judged call for yourself. For me, this is the purest form of adventure and running. The organisation was perfect. Fourth photo by @runstreakgotland

There are so many thoughts and reflections I need to give some space after running for 7 days 5 hours and 46 minutes. It will take some time. I will write about it on podzimekexplores.com soon.

I would like to thank my adventure partners and sponsors:
@fenixlight @fenix_gmbh for keeping me safe during the nights 🔦and for the race support, @mammut 🦣 for the excellent gear that kept me warm during the storm and @rocketfuelendurance for keeping me awake at night and fueled at all times ! 🚀

More soon ! Time for a nap.

Set a new FKT on the 250k+ /13.000hm Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail! 🏔️⏱️ Read the complete 101-hour stage breakdown, gear list on the website under race reports

The run of us has been officially published on @fastestknowntime as the fastest supported time (duo male with @grzegorzkorsak.runner 🇵🇱 ) today after reviewing proof of our route/ our gpx files/ diversion🇦🇹🏔️. Official time : 4d 5h 54m and 15 sec.

We fought hard for over 100 hours, pushing through 4 brutal nights on very little sleep, battling cold alpine conditions, slippery and rocky terrain, and relentless elevation across the roof of Austria (+ 13.000 hm). We took a few falls along the way, hit some barriers, but somehow managed to get back up.

A massive thank you to the brands that made this push possible:

@Mammut — keeping me warm and protected through cold alpine winds.

@fenix_gmbh @fenixlight — delivering lighting through 4 continuous nights of dark trails

@Rocketfuel — keeping the engine burning when every calorie counted and caffeine to counteract the sleep walking

Official attempt details and track now live on the FKT platform
