A runner from flat Hamburg travels to the Bavarian Alps to experience his first UTMB-style trail race in Reit im Winkl. What begins as a search for mountains becomes a story about memory, belonging, kindness, and discovering what trail running truly feels like above the clouds. From silent mornings by the river Lofer to brutal climbs, Kaiserschmarrn at mountain aid stations, and crossing the finish line as “Elio Rivero aus Argentinien,” this is a personal account of the MountainMan Reit im Winkl trail race in the Chiemgäu Alps.
