La grande novità per il 2015 è che la Skyrunner® Series diventa globale - più gare, nuove location  e, ora, la possibilità di contare una gara in più in classifica. Il successo della formula 5 SKY / 5 ULTRA / 5 VK rimane e verranno contati tre risultati su cinque, ma ora sarà inoltre possibile scegliere una quarta gara a scelta dai campionati continentali.

Ventisette gare, nove paesi, cinque continenti. Africa, Australia e Cina fanno la loro prima apparizione nel circuito, insieme con le aspre montagne del Circolo Polare Artico in Norvegia.
 

Il nuovo Skyrunner® National Series sarà annunciato durante l'anno, così lo skyrunning diventa una realtà tangibile e a portata di mano in diversi paesi: Africa, Nord e Sud America, Andorra, Canada, Repubblica Ceca, Francia, Grecia, Italia, Oceania, Polonia, Portogallo, Russia e la Spagna.
 

 

Vantaggi della Series e Campionati comprendono 1.700 pettorali gara, su 450 iscrizioni gratuite, 250 alloggi e 80 biglietti di viaggio. La Series finale di 25.000 $ verrà ridistribuito e ulteriori premi - non solo per i vincitori - sono in arrivo.

Riconfermati gli sponsor Salomon, Active Patch 4U, Compressport,  Scott Sports, Inov-8, Arc'teryx e La Sportiva

 

 

 

NEWS IN ENGLISH by ISF:

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.
