Of course, the race also has potential risks and dangers that cyclists should be aware of. The marathon loop track will not be completely closed to public traffic during the event, therefore the general traffic regulations apply - and special caution is required. Also the weather conditions, unattended grazing cattle and livestock, the road condition or other participants can lead to dangerous situations. The most important thing is always: your own safety! Here you can read more about the crucial danger spots of the marathon and how the cyclists should prepare themselves.

In addition to the usual risks belonging to cycling sports, the organizer points out special dangers arising from such a race by way of example as well as special dangers caused by the participation in the event. The following examples could be a threat to physical integrity (and to all items carried along).
Due to the influence of slippery asphalt - because of the high Alpine altitude - and sometimes poor road conditions on the driving behavior of the participants.
Due to the impossibility of securing all dangerous spots (in particular natural and artificial obstacles) on the roadside and along the entire race track.
Due to the impossibility of securing all possible crash sites and danger of falling spots in connection with the natural structure of the course (mountain passes up to 2508 m).
Due the fact that there are extreme (Alpine) weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.).
Due to the route traveling in part through wildlife and grazing areas, where you must always watch out for unattended grazing cattle (for example cows, horses or sheep) as well as wild animals or unleashed pets standing on the road all of a sudden - they may also leave dirt there unexpectedly.
The roads along the marathon track are not entirely closed to public traffic for the duration of the cycling event. Applicable traffic regulations apply! At any time you must watch out for overtaking vehicles, crossing cars or pedestrians, oncoming traffic and emergency or rescue vehicles (especially on the downhill stretch from Timmelsjoch Pass).
