The big news for 2015 is that the
Skyrunner® Series goes global –
more races, more places and, now, the chance to count an extra race in the
ranking. The successful 5 SKY / 5 ULTRA / 5 VK formula stays where
three
results out of five are scored, but now you can choose a
fourth race
from the
Continental Championships of your choice.
Twenty-seven races in
nine countries stretch across
five
continents.
Africa,
Australia and
China make their
first appearance on a global scale, together with the rugged mountains north of
the Arctic Circle in
Norway.
New
Skyrunner® National Series will be announced throughout the year, so
skyrunning closer to home becomes a tangible reality in:
Africa, North &
South America, Andorra, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Italy,
Oceania, Poland, Portugal, Russia and
Spain.
Benefits in the Series and Championships include
1,700 race slots,
450
free entries,
250 accommodation and
80 travel slots. The
Series final $ 25,000 is redistributed and additional prizes – not just for the
winners – are on the way.
We are proud to reconfirm and thank our partners
Salomon, Active Patch 4U,
Compressport, Scott Sports, inov-8, Arc’teryx and
La Sportiva for
their support and look forward to announcing new ones for 2015.
