Günter Pilz, aka Ultra Pilz, is a three time UltraCzech 515 finisher and a man who creates his own Ultra “Adventures”.
He funds his adventures with his day job as a secondary school teacher in Linz, Austria where he works with a lot of refugee students. He created a running club at his school to keep those students moving and to share the benefits of sport.
From his central European home base he often travels to take on ultra adventures and to meet with friends to share a pint at a local brewery. He is also an amateur beer sommelier.
If you are looking for new adventures yourself, he curates an Ultratriathlon Website that lists events around the world.
