 July looks like a really hot month on the skyrunning agenda, with the first Skyrunning World Championships since the inauguration of the ISF taking place across the Italian Alps. These events are held every four years alternating with the SkyGames®, to be held in Spain in 2012.
Only teams representing their countries are eligible for these events:
The Vertical Kilometer® World Championship on July 16, will be held in the fabulous Dolomites, in Canazei. The 1,000m vertical climb is one of the toughest of its kind, on a course designed for the 2008 SkyGames® where the world record of 33’59” was set by Manfred Reichegger.
The SkyMarathon® World Championship, is 32 km long but with 4,800m total elevation gain summiting three passes. Celebrating its 18th anniversary on July 25, the popular “Giir di Mont” as the locals call it, is located 70 km north-east of Milan at the head of a valley near Lake Como. The men’s record stands at 3h5’51” (Kilian Jornet) and the women’s is 4h01’52” (Emanuela Brizio).
