DESCRIPTION ... It is similar to traceroute, only does not require superuser privileges... ... SECURITY ... tracepath is not a privileged program, unlike traceroute, ping and other beasts of this kind. tracepath may be executed by everyone who has some access to network, enough to send UDP datagrams to investigated destination using given port.

But when run by unprivileged user, an error message appears:

$ tracepath Absolute path to 'tracepath' is '/usr/sbin/tracepath', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root).

If the full path is specified, then it seems to function normally:

$ /usr/sbin/tracepath www.opensuse.org 1: mygate.mydom.tld 0.084ms pmtu 1500 ...

If the binary is copied or moved to /usr/bin, then the program runs without any complaints when called by name without the full path. So I suppose it's just a placement error.
