Curtains part on the second leg of the 2010
Skyrunner® World Series on Sunday, May 16
with the highly competitive Maratòn Alpina Zegama-Aizkorri
in Spain’s Basque Country. Some of the world’s greatest runners will
line up to race this demanding and technical full marathon course with a
gruelling 5,472m vertical climb.
Some notable absentees due to injury: last year’s winner, Briton, Ricky Lightfoot; Mexico’s Ricardo Mejia and Spain’s Jokin Lizeaga will join the Series after recovery. Joining
the
start line after the Series’ first Trial last week on Russia’s Mount
Elbrus is winner Megan Kimmel from the United States,
La Sportiva Team, who now heads the women’s ranking. Other teams
competing include the Catalan Team, Salomon-Santiveri, Salomon Trail
Team, Valetudo Skyrunning, Running Team-Trangoworld, Sky Racing IZ and
the local, strong Euskadi Team. The next chance to chalk up their
scores will be the Trials in Andorra on June 6 and Portugal on June 13. A rich selection
follows from August to September across three continents while the main
events of the five-race Series continue in France with the Chaberton Marathon, followed by the Pikes Peak
Marathon in Colorado, the Sentiero Grigne in Italy and climaxing
with Malaysia’s spectacular International Mount Kinabalu Climbathon where athletes
gain an extra 20% on their ranking points and the men’s and women’s
champions are crowned. See
