Also this year will take place the special competition Seiser Alm Ski & Run: a combination between the Moonlight Classic and the Half Marathon.

All those who complete both the 30 or the 15 kilometres track of the Moonlight Classic (a cross-country ski race on 30 January 2026) and the Seiser Alm Half-Marathon (a 21-km running race on 5 July 2026) will be entered into the combined Seiser Alm Ski & Run ranking with the total of their two race times.

Practitioners of these closely related disciplines can compete in two dedicated competitions the time for the cross-country ski event totaled with the time for the run. The winners of this special ranking will be awarded following the half-marathon event.

New sprint classification
On the Ritsch – Mount Seuc – Ritsch section, a dedicated sprint classification is being introduced for the first time. This loop will be evaluated separately and awarded. All participants who pass through this section automatically take part in the sprint classification. The sprint classification results will be listed in addition to the regular half marathon rankings.
