Völlig Losgelöst von der Erde...

Electric Cable Car is part of Trail Tracks Network.

Just a month until the new Skyrunner USA National Series kicks off. Four incredible races invite you to touch the sky: Whiteface Skyrace, Beast of Big Creek, Skeetawk Skyline Scramble, Kismet Cliff Run.

Mandie Holmes for Ultrarunning Magazine (owned by team behind Cocodona):

If you entered the Cocodona 250 lottery, you already know what the entry fee looks like.

For everyone else, here it is:

Entry and fees will go up to $2,238 for 2027.

Mandie’s post isn’t meant to highlight the cost beyond the entry fee but rather the additional costs it takes to run this race including flights, gear, and accommodation for your crew.

Among the runners I talked to, total race week costs ranged from under $2,000 to well over $6,000.

Our sport is not one for folks pinching the pennies. I bet the numbers to fly to Europe and book a hotel in Chamonix have gotten even crazier than when I did it a few years ago.
