Every year the designers of the route try to think up something new and interesting to athletes. And this time didn't become an exception: new sites of a distance between Krugozor and Mir stations were chosen. General height difference made 1980 meters for men and 1730 meters for women.

The leaders Ilyas Achabayev and Ruslan Kulmukhametov overcame quite difficult distance in 2 hours 53 minutes. The technical director of the International ski-mountaineering federation Alexander Pelisye also paid attention to complexity of the route: "Well done! In Europe don't run at such heights!"
