Every step demands attention, every passage brings new impressions. Trail running is an adventure, endurance training and mindfulness exercise all in one. It's not just about speed or best times, but about the intense experience of the landscape, the weather and your own body. Anyone who has ever felt this flow quickly understands why trail running is becoming increasingly popular as a sport.
Sternsteintrail 2025: Nature experience & challenge from Linz
The Sparkasse Sternsteintrail took place again this year on 20 September 2025, a highlight for many trail enthusiasts from Upper Austria and beyond. The route started in the centre of Linz and covered around 42 kilometres with an elevation gain of around 1,650 metres up to the Waldschenke on the Sternstein.
The Sternsteintrail offers variety and diversity: from the urban start to forest and meadow trails to marvellous views in higher regions. In addition to the sporting competitions, there are also leisure and cultural trails that show that trail running is more than just a competition. It is an experience for body, mind and community.
Sonnleitner - mobility partner on the trail route
For events like the Sternsteintrail to run smoothly, you need not only good organisation and exciting routes, but also reliable mobility. This is exactly where Sonnleitner comes in as a mobility partner. With suitable vehicles, such as the Dacia Duster or practical vans from Renault, the company ensures that material, organisation teams and participants are flexibly supported, whether for transporting equipment, shuttles or event logistics.
This makes it clear that mobility and outdoor sports can be perfectly combined when reliability, off-road capability and sustainability go hand in hand. Sonnleitner is helping to ensure that the Sternsteintrail is not only a successful sporting experience, but also a great organisational one.
We think it's #schongenial when exercise and experiencing nature are combined in this unique way.
