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.
I had missed that, but Tudor isn’t the only “non-GPS/luxury watch brand” sponsoring trail. Unsurprisingly the Matterhorn Ultraks event is sponsored by Norqain. I say unsurprisingly because of course a trail event happening in and around Zermatt would have a watch sponsor, and of course, it’s a Swiss watch brand.
We are proud to be the Official Timekeeper of the Matterhorn Ultraks in Zermatt, Switzerland. The race in the Swiss mountains not only offers striking trails but also breathtaking views along the way. Matterhorn Ultraks offers competitors exceptional courses of various distances and difficulty levels so every NORQAINER can find what fits their skills and level.
Norqain even has/had a limited edition watch, the ‘Adventure Matterhorn Ultraks‘ celebrating their partnership. (The watch is already sold out, not sure how long that partnership has been going?)
Which then, of course brings me to the very important point worth asking – myself and you: which watch company should become the official partner of Beast of Big Creek? Anyone got ideas?
