The organizing team
Who’s behind Up The Hill? Up The Hill, or UTH for short, is organized by the Albstadt sports club albside e.V. Such an event wouldn’t be possible without the many dedicated club members and other volunteers.
Here’s an introduction to the organizing team.

He regularly runs on all the trails and paths in and around Albstadt. However, he feels most at home on ultra trails in the mountains.
