“I really like this kind of raw, wild type of skyrunning – a lot of places with no paths, loose rocks, wet, muddy, slippery, mossy…and the weather suited me as well.”
Jonathan Albon
Star of the show was American Hillary Gerardi who not only topped the podium but set a new course record, placing tenth overall in one of the most challenging races on the Series. Londoner Jonathan Albon but Norway resident won the race for the second time in a field of 225 participants from 27 countries.
