Mountain aid points: plan by time between them
The published Allgäu marathon route names mountain checkpoints including Weltcuphütte, Berghaus Schwaben, Grasgehren and Freiburger Alpe before the return through Bolsterlang and the Illerdamm. The marathon is on August 8, 2027; the Saturday reverse half marathon is a different race and should not determine your full-marathon start plan.
The aid table places Weltcuphütte at 7.8 km and Berghaus Schwaben at 14.7 km. That is a 6.9 km gap, but mountain running makes distance alone a weak estimate of how long you will be between opportunities to refill. Read the elevation profile alongside the aid list, estimate the slower sections conservatively, and rehearse carrying the food and drink your own plan requires.
Grasgehren is listed as a fuller food stop, while other checkpoints have different combinations of drinks and food. Do not build a gel schedule on the assumption that every station supplies your preferred product. Carry familiar fuel where needed and use the organizer's current table to decide what you expect to collect, rather than discovering the menu after a long climb.
Preparation should include sustained uphill movement and controlled descending, with time on feet taking priority over matching a road-marathon split chart. Practise switching between walking and running without turning every climb into a hard effort. Before travelling, download the full-marathon map and final aid information together; a half-marathon profile or an old route screenshot can give the wrong picture of both the climbing and the gaps between support.
