Another Skyrunning World Series Race is here, this time with the epic background that is the iconic Matterhorn. Starting and ending in Zermatt, the race goes up to Rothornhutte at 3,200m (10,500) and tops out at almost 3,400m (11,000 feet) while accumulating 3,066m (10,000) over only 26km (16ish miles) of racing. The race has tons of technical sections, epic views, and makes for some dreamy skyrunning content that I highly recommend checking out on the Skyrunning World Series Instagram page if you haven’t already. Join me for help making your Fantasy Freetrail Picks or if you just love hearing people talk about trail running in general.

Author’s note: The race discussion begins around the 12 minute mark and the discussion before that is more of a recap of the past two weeks including some thoughts about Sierre Zinal results and personal adventures I’ve been on.
