For the benefit of the Gastein forests
Giving Back tree planting campaign
In 2025, the adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS also initiated a major Giving Back tree planting campaign to reforest damaged forest areas in the Gastein Valley.
With a symbolic donation of five euros per tree, participants, spectators and event partners were able to purchase tree seedlings. With the continuation of the campaign, the event is now supporting a large-scale reforestation project of the state of Salzburg, in which clear areas in the Kötschachtal valley caused by weather disasters are sustainably reforested.
A short sporting vacation in Gastein
Gastein also offers the best opportunities to spend a short vacation after the adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS competition in Gastein. After all, what could be better than immersing yourself in the warm water of the thermal baths after a fulfilling trail run in the Gastein mountains? The muscles are gently loosened and relaxation comes naturally. Wellness for body and soul! In the evening, enjoy the varied Gastein cuisine before falling happily into bed in your cozy accommodation. And look forward to another sporty day here in Gastein.
