This was Beast of Big Creek 2026!
Watch the recap video of the return of skyrunning to the USA and North America's only stop on the Skyrunner World Series.
The Ampezzo valley received a welcome cooldown Thursday evening with a massive thunderstorm pulling through and crashing against the mountains above. Strong rain, hail and lots of lighting and thunder lit up the night sky and mountain faces above the town. The 20K runners were subjected to some of the worst of it and a small landslide temporarily closed off the main road into town. Luckily the following morning for the start of the 50K we’re greeted by blue skies, cooler temps, and clear air.
