Red Fox Elbrus Race VI. News-release
Red Fox Company and Russian Mountaineering Federation with the support of Emercom of Russia, Government of the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria and International Skyrunning Federation conduct VI International festival Red Fox Elbrus Race on May 3-11, 2014.
The competition will take place on the Elbrus peak, the highest top of the Europe and the most popular Russian mountain region.
For several years the Festival Red Fox Elbrus Race with two races of the Russian National Series (Elbrus Vertical SkyMarathon® and Elbrus Vertical Kilometer®) is one of the central events in the skyrunning world. Elbrus Vertical Kilometer® and Elbrus Vertical SkyMarathon® were included in Skyrunner® World Series and the 50 World Ranking races of 2013 year. The best mountaineers, skiers and multisportsmen from all over the world come to participate in the Festival.
Last year the Red Fox Elbrus Race distinguished by the record established by the Italian skyrunner Marco Facchinelli in the main event of the Festival. The athlete overcame the very hard distance with height more than 3000 meters difference from Azau's glade to the West Elbrus Peak only in 3 hours 30 minutes. And the ordinary person needs not less than 1 day to carry out the same route.
But more than likely this record will be broken in the Festival Red Fox Elbrus Race 2014. Even now the desire to participate in the most high-altitude race of the world was expressed by many leaders of international skyrunning.
By tradition there is also the competition for amateurs (classic class) besides the sport class in the Festival. The difference consists that race start in this case is given not from a glade Azau (2350 m) but from the Barrels (3780 m). So anybody who wishes has a chance to conquer the highest top of the Europe.
One of the features of this Festival Red Fox Elbrus Race 2014 will be the intense ski-mountaineering program. Within the Festival the final of the Russian Ski-mountaineering Cup (personal, team and vertical race) will take place.
The snow-shoes race Red Fox TSL Challenge will finish the Festival program. As is usual for such an event, anyone and everyone will take part: the organisers, sports people who still have forces after the saturated program of the Festival and representatives of mass media.
We wait for you on the Festival Red Fox Elbrus Race 2014! You are welcome!
