Arrancan las World Series 2010
| 2010 World Series kick off |
(Info recibida de la ISF)
 This year the Skyrunner® World Series celebratesseven years of world-class athletes and events with 14 races in 12 countries across four continents. With700 kilometres to run and 30,000 vertical metres to climb, the 2010 World Series will not only sweep you off your feet but also take your breath away!
Based on previous figures, some 7,000 participants from at least 37 countries will take part in this unique high-altitude circuit uniting the most prestigious mountain races under the auspices of the International Skyrunning Federation. For the first time, Russia enters the World Series as a Trial and launches the season on May 8th with a Vertical Kilometer® on Mount Elbrus. The race is part of the Red Fox Festival from May 7-12, a multi sport event all on snow including running, snow-shoeing and ski mountaineering competitions – enough to keep the hungriest adventure addict on a week-long high. The snow and the altitude recall the early skyrunning races of the 90’s in the Alps, Mexico and Rockies.
The scenario shifts from Spain to France with the Chaberton Marathon, 6,032m ascent and descent in the shadow of Europe’s highest fort; the American Rockies beckon with the famous Pikes Peak Marathon to the 4,200m summit; Italy’s technical Sentiero Grigne,and, to finish, the spectacular final to the summit of South East Asia’s second highest mountain, Mount Kinabalu, with theInternational Climbathon where athletes gain an extra 20% on their ranking points. Standing World Champions, Italy’s Emanuela Brizio and Spain’s Kilian Jornet are set to defend their titles where the best of four out of the five principal races plus one trials will crown the winners.
