In contrast to other Hike & Fly events, the athletes fight alone, as a tandem team or in a relay team. Or you look for a partner in the Aerothlon exchange (when registering). The track for 2022 is composed as follows:
The Aerothlon starts with a speed hiking race. The athletes run from the sports field in Kleinarl to the Mooskopf. They pass the church and take the hiking path directly to Gasthof Pröll. There they continue to Gasthaus Galler. From now on the race goes diretissima under the bubble shuttle to the Mooskopf. The paragliding route starts up there. If the weather is good, the Gründegg is a technically demanding turnpoint. The paragliders prove their skills. If the paragliders do not make it to the turnpoint, they land at the Hirschleiten field and cover the rest of the way according to the Hike & Fly principle. This means that the Gründegg has to be climbed on foot. This summit is the new point to start flying. In bad weather, the flight route is adapted to the current conditions. The paragliders hand over or change their sports equipment again at the sports field in Kleinarl. The mountain bikers cycle over Öbrist to the Kleinarler Hütte. From there it goes down over the new Shared Trail Penkkopf and the hiking path to the Kurzegg Alm. The descent is over hill and dale at the Hirschleitentrail. They finsih at the sports field in Kleinarl. The paragliders hand over or change their sports equipment again at the sports field in Kleinarl.
