Introducing the Dual Alpine Challenge — a test of endurance, grit, and mountain mastery!
Runners who conquer both the Swiss Alps 100 50KM (southern Switzerland) and the Angeles National Forest Trail Race 50K (southern California) in the same calendar year will earn an exclusive, special edition 4 inches (10cm) medal, celebrating their achievement in tackling these two epic courses. Spanning two continents, this challenge unites trail runners who thrive on elevation, breathtaking landscapes, and the relentless pursuit of adventure. Do you have what it takes to join the ranks of Dual Alpine finishers?
This is a brand new challenge that we started this year. As soon as we get our first Dual Alpine Challenge finishers, we will post them here with their finish photo.
