“At 10 kilometres before the finish I passed Emelie [Forsberg]. It was a very intense 10 kilometres!”
Ragna Debats
A tough battle in the men’s field saw Briton Jonathan Albon take his second win here and Ragna Debats from the Netherlands clinch the victory. Two hundred runners toed the pre-dawn start line before the assault on the steep slopes and technical stretches of this race that perfectly embodies the skyrunning sea-to sky concept.
