A Detour to the Top

Max Rahm took a detour—and it paid off. Raised in the Palatinate region, he initially worked as a carpenter in the family business and started out running on the road, setting a personal best of 2:23 in the marathon. This was followed by a stint at college in the U.S., which he cut short. He found his true passion on the trails. In 2024, he put all his eggs in one basket, moved to Innsbruck, and turned pro. That same year, he won the Wings for Life World Run in Munich (2024) with a distance of 65.3 kilometers and a course record. In 2025, he won the Zugspitz Ultratrail over 86 km and finished fifth at the Kodiak 100, a UTMB Major.

Honest, unfiltered, unstoppable

Honest and unfiltered—that’s how Max presents his sport on Instagram, YouTube, and in the “Endure” podcast. This also includes setbacks: In 2025, he ran for months in pain before receiving a diagnosis—a stress fracture in his sacrum. The result was a long break, and he had to withdraw from the 2026 UTMB World Final. His lesson: No success is worth sacrificing your health for. His focus for 2027: his home race at the Innsbruck Alpine Trailrun Festival over 112 kilometers, other UTMB races, and qualifying again for Chamonix. His big dream is the two races that first got him hooked: the UTMB Finals and the Western States.
