The Skyrunner World Series is back in the USA!
Join us at Beast of Big Creek and race Mount Ellinor with us.
Announced today via IG and email affecting all runners racing UTMB this year and beyond:
Between Notre-Dame de la Gorge and Col du Bonhomme, over a 6-to-7-kilometer stretch (mostly uphill), you must use the red-light mode on your headlamps when crossing the Contamines-Montjoie Nature Reserve.
Why?
Some scientific studies show that white light can disturb nocturnal wildlife, whereas red light is less noticeable to many species.
Equipment: only one of your two required headlamps needs to be equipped with this mode.
Today would be a good day for UTMB to announce an official headlamp sponsor for their World Series.
Sign up and never miss a story.
