SKYRUNNER WORLD SERIES 2015.

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.
