Predator RACE Alpine Master Weekend
23 and 24 May 2026
Obstacle course at the Wildkogel Arena
The Predator Race Alpine Master Weekend is one of the most spectacular obstacle courses (OCR) in Austria. On 23 and 24 May 2026, the Wildkogel Arena in Neukirchen and Bramberg will be transformed into a challenging competition arena testing endurance, strength and team spirit.
At the Predator Race, participants take on an extreme obstacle course in alpine terrain. True to the motto “Overcome all challenges and never give up”, the aim is to master obstacles, push boundaries and surpass one’s limits.
The rugged terrain of the Wildkogel Arena, set against the panoramic backdrop of the three-thousand-metre peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park, provides a spectacular setting for this event.

Predator Race Information
- The FAST-Line is the quickest way to get past an obstacle. However, this method is technically more difficult or more physically demanding.
- The SLOW route, on the other hand, is simpler in design. It takes longer to complete and usually involves slightly longer stretches of running.
- THE HANDICAP / PENALTY: If an obstacle still cannot be overcome, a handicap is imposed. The handicap consists of a specific section of the course or, more often than not, short, strenuous sections that must be covered using the ‘crab walk’.
- Mandatory obstacles are only for ELITE runners
- Mandatory obstacles are marked with a star on the signs in the start/finish area
- It doesn't matter whether it's the FAST or SLOW line (what's done is done)
- No help! No handicap
- Obstacles that are not marked with a star are not compulsory obstacles and may be cleared via the FAST or SLOW line, or even by means of a handicap.
Larger groups will, of course, receive a team discount from us!
- The minimum number for a team is 4 people. Teams of up to 14 people receive a 10% discount on the entry fee. For teams of 15 or more members, you receive a group discount of 15%.
- As a member of the ambulance service, police, fire brigade or mountain rescue service, you will receive a 10% discount; however, this cannot be combined with other discounts (i.e. only for individuals).
