About PLAN B
#weshareyourpassion
We love events! Because everyone wins with us: the participants, who can concentrate fully on the competition and the experience in a family environment. The sponsors and partners, because they get great opportunities to present themselves to the community and interact with it. And we at PLAN B Event Company, because we are deeply touched by all the emotions of the participants – and give energy for the next event. These include Germany’s largest trail running event, legendary stage races across the Alps, and guided gravel bike tours. Curious now? Then take a look at what we have to offer!
Our Team
Andreas
Anschütz
Controlling
Nothing works without numbers. Not even in the emotional event business – and Andi keeps a close eye on it! He has been with us from the very beginning and has experienced all the ups and downs. When he’s not checking the numbers, he loves to ride his mountain bike in the mountains around Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Uta
Albrecht
CEO
The soul of PLAN B. Uta is an event organizer with heart and soul. She has an overview of everything and yet also knows every detail. Always present, always friendly, always a smile and a snappy saying at the ready – no matter how great the stress. “I just love it when the participants feel comfortable at our events.”
Heini
Albrecht
CEO
With mountain bike world cups Heini has founded the company in the 80s. Takes care mainly of authorities, permits and sponsors. Places great emphasis on flawless organization and safety of participants. “Our own trail running events with all the beaming runners inspired me so much that I became a passionate trail runner myself.”
Holger
Stoob
Expo
Trained at PLAN B, has years of experience in the event and trade fair business. Takes care of the Expo for our partners as well as the catering at our events – with up to 10 “food stops” per event, sometimes in the high mountains, always a logistical challenge!
Sandra
Mastropietro
Communications & Public Relations
Sandra is responsible for all of our communications. Her texts tell stories about sport, about people, and about everything that happens around an event. Honest, approachable, and without staging. She writes for the community, for partners, and for everyone who makes these events possible. Sandra gives PLAN B a clear, human voice — and when she’s not doing that, she’s out running ultratrails herself. Preferably in bad weather and over triple-digit distances.
Sebastian
Hallmann
Strategy, Concept Development & Training
As a former professional athlete, he combines his own racing experience with sports science expertise and a very clear perspective on training load, recovery, and meaningful formats. He prefers working on strategies and concepts. Within the communications team, Sebastian ensures structure and clarity. Factual, thoughtful, and without unnecessary embellishment.
Rene
Unser
PLAN B north america
Rene is the extended arm of PLAN B in North America. She is a passionate trail runner and biker herself, organizes her own running events in Canada and provides the North American community with all tips and tricks for the European PLAN B events. And of course she is on site every year for the legendary crossing of the Alps! Trademark: a big big smile!
Amelie
Most
Project Assistant
“Perfectly balances the tightrope between PLAN B and her studies. As a young talent in the event business, she brings lots of fun and fresh energy. In the mountains, the sports science student prefers to be on skis—except when stopping at a mountain hut, then she’s happy to go on foot!”
Sonja
Wurmer
Trainee
Having grown up in the mountains, Sonja feels completely at home at our events. Despite her young age, she already brings valuable experience as a trainee and is fully committed from day one. She approaches every task with a positive “come what may” attitude. After a successful workday, she takes the opportunity to enjoy the sunset from her favorite peaks.
