Detailed program overview
GUIDE VOR ORT
WC Experience Intro
Major sports events in Tyrol are always worth a visit. In addition to the gripping contests that can be followed along the trails or at the venues, an Expo and an extensive fringe program will add to the overall atmosphere.
Trail running fever
Innsbruck and Stubai will be experiencing serious trail running fever throughout the event. Become part of a unique crowd that will stay with you for years to come, irrespective of whether you join as an athlete, a spectator or a volunteer.
Fringe Program
You can expect a fringe program offering anything a sports enthusiast could wish for. Make sure not to miss the opening and closing ceremonies. Enjoy movie screenings, live acts, guided hikes, arts as well as cultural and culinary highlights. Whether you are visiting for the day or staying for a while, whether you are bringing family and friends or coming alone, you can find all the information needed to plan your individual WC experience here. As we continue to extend our program and offers, it pays off to pay us an online visit every once in a while to make sure you won’t miss out on any news. 😉
Up Close To The Action Along The Trail
If you come to experience the WC, you should definitely make use of our cheering offers. You can follow the world’s leading athletes in a hop-on hop-off bus to cheer them on. Be there when the leading field passes through or when the uphill reaches its climax on the final deciding meters. Easy-to-reach spectator points are ideal for supporters and fans.
Fringe Program
Gregor Meyle – Opening Act
Es ist soweit. / Du hast die Würfel in der Hand.
Nutze die Zeit. / Du darfst beweisen, was Du kannst.
(The time has come. / Fate is in your hands. / Seize the day. / You may demonstrate your abilities.)
Wenige Zeilen aus dem Song „Jetzt kommt der Tag“ – und ganz ehrlich, sind nicht gerade dies jene Zeilen, die so genial zu den WMTRC passen?! Jetzt kommt der Tag, jetzt kommt die Zeit, jetzt fallen die Würfel!
It will be Gregor Meyle and his band’s job at the WMTRC opening ceremony to send us on an unforgettable journey. The charismatic artist who likes to sport a hat, beard and glasses is the right person to ignite the fire within. His songs “Flieg jetzt los”, which translates to “Take Off Now”, and “Niemand” (“Nobody”) are made to motivate: Du hast hart trainiert und hast viel riskiert für dich / Flieg jetzt los, immer weiter (You have trained hard and have risked a lot / Take flight now, keep going) but also to sing along to: Du brauchst niemand, der dir zeigt, wie leicht man lebt. / Du brauchst niemand, der dir sagt, worum es geht. (You don’t need anyone to show you how to live easy / You don’t need anyone to tell you what it’s all about).
Gregor Meyle is someone who likes to take in and draw inspiration from his surroundings when he is in the process of writing new, personal songs. That being said, Gregor Meyle and his band also manage to find quiet, intimate moments to counteract a brilliant mix of the finest melodies and lyrics they have to offer. Real music – hand-made with passion and love!
If you can’t make it, you’ll not only miss the WMTRC opening ceremony but much more than that – an evening showcasing the best that the German-speaking songwriter scene has to offer.
Tim Bendzko – Closing Act
The WMTRC 2023 are history, all medals have been awarded and hopefully there won’t be the one or other athlete (or spectator) thinking: Ich wär‘ so gern dabei gewesen / Doch ich hab viel zu viel zu tun. (I would have loved to be there /But I have way too much to do.) This is a line taken from one of German pop star Tim Bendzko’s many hits, a star who is busy “just quickly saving the world.”
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that hardly any other musician has left their mark on German-speaking pop music the way Bendzko has in the last ten years. Not only has he had several of his songs ranking high in the charts, he also calls a number of gold and platinum LPs as well as awards his own. What’s more important though is the fact that he has profoundly changed the way German-speaking pop music is received.
This leads us to the question: Is there a better closing act for the WMTRC than Mr Bendzko himself? There isn’t! After all, he is going to send us off to the future with his hit “Hoch” ("High"):
Auch wenn wir schon weit gekommen sind
Wir gehen immer weiter hoch hinaus!
(Even though we may have come far / We are going to keep pushing further.)
Cheering Bus
You want to be right there next to the action and cheer for the athletes up close? Your Cheering Bus gives you the opportunity experience just that. Our Cheering Bus takes you directly to the most important points of interest along the track.
The Cheering Buses run in a hop-on-hop-off manner at regular intervals along the tracks. The stops are either easily accessible points or mountain railway stations, which you can also use with your Cheering Bus ticket. The buses are on the road for three of the four races throughout the day.

Trail Short
During the Trail Short on the 8th of June the Cheering Buses will drive a round trip along the course. Here you can decide at which of the stops you want to get off. You can also use the cable car at two of the stops for a ride up and down the mountain to be as close as possible to the athletes.
