THE SUPERVISOR

"I was an athlete twice. Both times DNF — once due to cramps at the Sölkpass, once due to low blood sugar at Gaberl."

Last year I was my brother's chaperone. We made it to the finish line — together, slowly, frozen to the bone at the Dachstein.

It was the best thing I've ever done.

I've learned that a coach saves more races than an athlete knows.

 

— Stefan M., supervisor 2023

Without you, there is no goal.

"A FINISHER HAS TWO NAMES. THE ATHLETE — AND HIS GUARDIAN."

WHAT YOUR ROLE MEANS

At autXtri, there are no aid stations. No crowds of spectators. No outside crew taking over.
You are the support. You are the drive. You are the conscience.
The final climb is completed together. Otherwise, the finish line does not count.

BEFORE THE RACE

Book early: accommodation for both athlete and supporter — for the night before and after the race.

Train together: shared runs are worth gold. Physically and mentally.

Study the Stroßnbuach together: aid points, meeting points, transition zones.

Drive the bike course: by car, so you know what is coming.

Equipment check:
Hydration pack, gels, bars, emergency blanket, headlamp, rain gear, warm clothing.

BriefinG

Mandatory for BOTH athlete and supporter. Address can be found in the Stroßnbuach.

All athletes and their supporters must attend the registration in person on the day before the race.

The briefing for individual athletes and teams will be available online on the website from May onwards and does not replace the mandatory on-site registration.

RACE DAY

Wake up early. Arrive at the start area rested and prepared.

Set up the swim-to-bike transition zone.

Be ready when your athlete comes out of the water:
A warm blanket. A folding chair. Warmth.
He or she may be hypothermic.

ON THE BIKE COURSE

Choose meeting points on climbs or higher sections.

Bring:
Dry jersey · Drinks · Bars · Gels

YOU also need food and water in the car. Starving helps nobody.

Water points can be found in the Stroßnbuach.

BIKE TO RUN TRANSITION (GROSSSÖLK)

YOU ARRIVE BEFORE YOUR ATHLETE.

Have ready:
Running shoes and socks
Cap and sunglasses
Sunscreen
Whatever else is needed

If your athlete doubts — you motivate.

ON THE RUN COURSE

During the first kilometers, you are not allowed to accompany your athlete.

Meeting points are listed in the Stroßnbuach.

Checkpoint Silberkarklamm:
This is where YOUR equipment will be checked.

  • Emergency blanket

  • Headlamp

  • At least 1 liter of fluid

  • Nutrition

THE FINAL STAGE

From here on, you continue together.

Stay alert.
Recognize dangers before your athlete sees them.

He or she is tired, exhausted, and no longer fully aware of everything around them.

At Südwandhütte, you will see the finish line.

Do not run too fast downhill — your athlete still has a story to tell.

At the finish: You made it. Just like your athlete.

IF SOMETHING HAPPENS

If your athlete decides to withdraw, inform the AUTXTRI crew immediately. No exceptions.

YOUR JOURNEY STARTS NOW

Read the Stroßnbuach together.
