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.

Announced yesterday while I was on a mountain:

UTMB® World Series and Rudy Project are pleased to announce a three-year partnership that will see the Treviso-based brand support the world’s premier trail-running series as Official Eyewear until 2027 included.

But most importantly:

As part of the partnership, Rudy Project will be present on selected UTMB World Series event, beginning with the La Sportiva Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB® (25-29 June), offering on-site experiences designed to connect with the trail running community and support athletes throughout their journey.

Heading over to the expo as we speak.

PS: I do wish these press emails would have a public online home so I could link to them.

Sign up and never miss a story.
