Sustainability & regionality at #ÖRM

✓ Arriving by public transport either by train or by bus or carpooling is recommended.

✓ The public bus line runs through Ötztal every half hour: convenient for all spectators on Sunday and for the participants on all other days.

✓ A free and guarded bicycle garage is available all weekend so that you can pick up your start package on foot or by bike.

✓ So that you can leave the car at the accommodation, a shuttle service to the start is offered to the participants.

✓ ÖRM route service is increasingly focussing on e-mobility. A total of 9 e-vehicles and 2 hybrid cars are in use.

✓ Our partners are on the same wavelength: Many of our sponsors and partners do without manufactured goodies and provide sustainable and regional items.

✓ Jute bags instead of plastic bags.

✓ The sustainable aspect can also be found in the 2024 participant‘s gift: a reusable stainless steel drinking bottle.

✓ Regional gastronomy instead of a pasta party. All participants receive a meal voucher that can be redeemed in Ötztal's restaurants. This way we not only save plastic, but also support regional businesses.

✓ Food stations are run by hotels in the region with goods from regional suppliers and partners.

✓ The cakes at the refreshment stations come exclusively from local hobby bakers & regional businesses.

✓ Reusable cups and reusable or large containers are used on the route and in the sports hall to reduce waste and protect flora and fauna.

✓ There are designated disposal zones after each refreshment station. Here we offer all participants the opportunity to dispose of any garbage that has accumulated, which will then be separated accordingly and cleaned up immediately. The consequence if this is not adhered to according to the race regulations: Disqualification. A "zero tolerance rule" must be strictly adhered to on the course with regard to environmental pollution.

✓ It goes without saying: waste separation at the refreshment stations and in the finish area.

✓ We will try to use as little paper as possible. Instead, we provide QR Codes and all information on the website or in our Ötztaler Radmarathon App.

✓ More than 1,300 volunteers from the local community support this event.

✓ The Bike 4 Help Prologue of the Ötztal Cycle Marathon - cycling for social sustainability to support families in need in Tyrol.

✓ Old advertising banners are being recycled by people with disabilities. Thus the banners get a second chance and become, for example, a recycled bag.

✓ All participants deserve great respect, which is why even the last ones are celebrated as true winners.

✓ The event area is accessible without barriers. For assistance, please contact our OC team: T +43 (0) 57200 926

✓  The no longer needed fitted sheets from the Ötztal accommodations find a second use to protect the racing bikes during the return transport from the course to Sölden.
