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!

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.
