4e jours de la red Bull X-alps, la tête de la course a passé le Mont-blanc et rentre en Autriche.

Chrigel est en tête (et toujours en vol à 20h) , mais le Français Maxime Pinot est moins de 10km derrière et utilise son "night pass" pour courrir toute la nuit et rattraper le retard.

Bref, une course de dingue cette année

Nice! The route of the X-Alps 2023 will (partly 😜 ) be viewable from my garden (Niesen, Turning Point 8).

The Red Bull X-Alps is the world’s toughest adventure race. It’s a fiercely contested battle across the Alps lasting almost two weeks in which around 30 athletes run, hike and fly by paraglider up to 150km a day passing set Turnpoints positioned across iconic mountains and famous resorts. With athletes often hiking up to 4,000m of vertical ascent a day and running as much as 100km on foot, it’s not only an incredible test of physical endurance but it has become recognized as the supreme test for the world’s best hike-and-fly athletes.
