The Logbook for the Trail Running World
The Logbook for the Trail Running World
By Mathias Eichler
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.
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.
