This year’s WMRA World Cup is more international than ever, with races in 12 locations in 8 countries. Poland is making its debut as a World Cup destination in 2021 but it’s definitely making a good impression. It was the destination for stage 1 at Tatra Race Run and now stage 4 at Tatra SkyMarathon.
For the 4th round of the World Cup we head back to the Tatra Mountains in Poland for Tatra SkyMarathon. This is our next long distance mountain race, at 40km with 3,300m of ascent!
Our latest athlete post comes from Fujio Miyachi, who tells us about the challenges and rewards associated with being a Japanese athlete travelling to mountain running races in Europe and beyond.
The mountain running world championship for participants aged 35 and over will take place – a year later than planned – as part of the Schlickeralmlauf in the village of Telfes in the Stubai Valley.
La Montee du Nid d’Aigle was a highly anticipated race for us and it certainly didn’t disappoint. With its race hub in beautiful Saint-Gervais-Les-Bains, in the Haute-Savoie region of France, we knew it would provide a stunning setting, but pull this together with a tough course and a field of top runners and you have all the ingredients of a really fantastic mountain running race.
This year’s World Cup is a mix of old classics and new races and our next race, La Montee Du Nid d’Aigle, on Saturday 17th July is a bit of both! This will be the 34th edition of the event, so it’s definitely a classic, but it’s the first time it will be part of the World Cup. Which is hard to believe because this race has all of the hallmarks of a fantastic mountain race.
