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.
This is a brand new pre-announcement which hasn’t been made official via the UTMB press office, but according to the local news Aoesta Sera here are the details (again, browser auto-translated!):
From 18 to 20 July 2025 the most important trail organization in the world will baptize a new race, from Aosta to Gressoney-Saint-Jean, for a total of 120 km and 8200 meters of positive elevation gain, plus three other shorter distances.
Monterosa Walser Waeg is the name of the race that will become a ‘by UTMB’ event in 2025.
The Valle d’Aosta, just one valley over from Chamonix is full of high profile events already: TOR, Gran Trail Courmayeur, Ultra Tour Monte Rosa to name just a few, but the news paper doesn’t make this move sounds like this is a bad thing, so it will be interesting to see how these all will coexist.
A slightly shorter race, just over a month ahead of the UTMB Finals could be the perfect tune-up race for many top athletes, and the region is well-know for it’s breath-taking and really steep trails.
