A successful start at the premiere of the “Arbermandl” for personal trainer Tina Fischl from Fürstenstein. Just one week after her victory at the Mountain Attack in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, the mountain specialist secured a commanding victory last Friday at the inaugural Vertical-Up race on the Großer Arber, the highest mountain in the Bavarian Forest. The ski touring event offered two race formats, and Fischl deliberately chose the Vertical-Up – a pure uphill race on touring skis.
The race started directly at the valley station, with the finish located at the Eisensteiner mountain hut near the summit. After a slightly cautious start, Fischl quickly found her rhythm. “After two or three minutes, everything was really flowing,” she explained afterwards. “For me, the race was almost like a sprint, as the course was only one kilometer long with about 320 meters of elevation gain. That means giving it everything right from the start.”
As the race progressed, Fischl steadily worked her way to the front, overtaking competitors and continuously extending her lead in the women’s field. Especially on the steep section, the athlete from WSV Otterskirchen demonstrated excellent technique and strong footing on the steep climb.
With a strong time of 16 minutes, Tina Fischl reached the finish line as the fastest woman. In the end, only four men reached the summit faster. Although the course was a bit too short for her taste – the extreme athlete usually prefers longer races – she was extremely satisfied with the result. Particularly impressive was her nearly four-minute lead over the second-place finisher.
The victory on the Arber marked Fischl’s second win of the current ski touring season. “I’m super happy, because my main sport is running,” Fischl summed up after the race. With this successful performance, she once again underlined her excellent early-season form and sent a clear message right from the outset.

Start-to-finish victory for Tina Fischl at the Freudensee Run in Hauzenberg
Beaming faces and fast legs around Lake Freudensee: athlete Tina Fischl delivered an impressive performance at this year’s 5-kilometer Freudensee Run in Hauzenberg.
On the demanding cross-country course, which due to adverse weather conditions consisted of three partly muddy laps around lake Freudensee, the 49-year-old dominated the field from the beginning. Shortly after the start, she pulled away from her opponents and celebrated a commanding start-to-finish victory against significantly younger competitors.
Tina Fischl completed the three laps, totalling 4.9km, in a time of 18:27 min. Anna Drexler came in second in 19:44 min, ahead of Martha Weber, who crossed the finish line in 19:51 min.
“I was able to really push hard right from the start and felt great. Despite the difficult conditions, it was a really enjoyable race”, said Fischl happily at the finish line.
Immediately afterwards, Fischl also took part in the relay race, where she competed for the Wellnesshotel Reischlhof team alongside Thomas Hafner and her husband Alex. The trio put in a strong team performance and ultimately took second place in the overall relay standings.

Tina Fischl wins the Zwölferhorn mountain run in commanding fashion
Once again, she has proven her exceptional talent in mountain running: Tina Fischl from WSV Otterskirchen won the extreme Vertical Up race up the Zwölferhorn (1,522m above sea level) in impressive fashion on Saturday. On the route, which was only four kilometres long but featured an elevation gain of almost 1,000 meters, the 49-year-old extreme runner gave her competitors no chance and secured victory in the women’s race with a lead of around three minutes.
Fischl went on the offensive right from the start. “I had a very good feeling from the start and was able to pull away early on. None of the girls could keep up with me”, she reported happily after the race. She took the lead after the first steep section and continuously extended it.
Second place went to last year’s winner Katarina Lovrantova from Slovenia, ahead of Sabrina Papst from Austria, neither of whom were able to match the fast pace set by the Fürstenstein native at any point.
“I knew that I could control the race if I found my rhythm”, said the personal trainer.
Despite the extreme conditions, Tina Fischl was enthusiastic about the competition: The weather was cool, windy, rainy and foggy in the finish area, but “perfect” for running.
Not only is the way Fischl dominated remarkable, but also her age: at 49 she left a significantly younger field of competitors behind her. “This shows that experience, mental strength, and passion are crucial in mountain running”, she emphasized with a smile.
With this success, Fischl once again underlines her class in extreme running and confirms her consistently strong form.

Tina Fischl defies the heat and wins again at the BMW Dingolfing half marathon
The asphalt shimmered, and the sun showed no mercy: this year’s 21st BMW Dingolfing half marathon demanded everything from the 1,500 participants. While many struggled against the temperatures, one athlete once again delivered an impressive performance: Tina Fischl from WSV Otterskirchen.
The top runner from Fürstenstein was neither deterred by the new route along the picturesque Isar river nor by the thermometer, which climbed mercilessly to around 28°C on Sunday afternoon. Shortly after the starting signal, Fischl made it clear that the road to victory would once again lead through her this year.
In her usual determined manner, she pulled away from the field early on and set a pace that was astonishingly fast given the conditions. But what initially seemed like a commanding performance became more of a mental challenge with every additional kilometre – and a race against an unexpected adversary: the heat.
But Tina persevered. With an outstanding time, she secured victory once again this year at the traditional race in Dingolfing. Yet another proof of her exceptional status in Bavarian long-distance running.
Despite the extreme conditions, participants were enthusiastic about the new route. The Isar River provided scenic attractions, while the perfect organization from start to finish once again set new standards.
Conclusion: Tina Fischl remains the woman to beat – and the BMW Dingolfing half marathon remains an event that runners from all over Bavaria can look forward to every year.

Tina Fischl fights her way to second place at the Lipno Sports Festival
With a spirit of adventure and sporting ambition, Tina Fischl from WSV Otterskirchen took part in the Lipno Sports Festival at the Moldova Reservoir in the Czech Republic. She had no idea that it would turn out to be a surprise race since she hadn’t translated the announcement. All she knew was that it would be around ten kilometers with an elevation gain of 350 meters.
After the start, it turned out to be challenging trail run over ski slopes, a viewing tower, a treetop path, and a technical downhill section. The first long climb already sorted the field. Fischl was initially in fourth place but steadily fought her way forward. On the final climb to the treetop path, she took second place and defended it confidently to the finish line – behind the multiple Czech champion and only six men.
For Tina Fischl, it was not only a sporting success, but also a very special experience: “A competition where you only realize what you’ve gotten yourself into during the race – that doesn’t happen to me very often. But maybe I should try surprise races more often!?”
