Three Runners. One Team.
In the Arlberg Team Race, the full circuit becomes a shared challenge. Three runners share the 110 kilometres. The first leg begins in the night, the second showcases the technically demanding side of the race, and the final leg offers a smoother ride on the way back to Lech. Each stage has its own character – but in the end, it’s the team that counts.
