Dear Irontrailers

How time flies! Just 2 months and we'll all be looking back on the Irontrail premiere. It's hard to believe...

But let's look forward for a moment and focus on the perfect preparation so far. The detailed planning is going full speed ahead in order to make a well-organised, exciting event possible.  The way things are, the more involved we get with the planning, the more questions come to light. We have tried to answer all the questions that have arisen in our INFO A-Z on our website.

But we still have a few snippets of important information for you:

7) RAIL TICKETS: All Swiss and Regio tickets that have been booked will be sent out at the beginning of June. Please find now online, some travel examples.

9) BAGGAGE TRANSPORT: In the meantime, further details in relation to the transportation of runners' and other baggage are now known.
