Hello,

I’m trying to find mountain races with about 1000m/3280ft of climbing per 10 km/6.2 miles or more. Between 20-50 km is what I’m looking for, but any other suggestion is still welcome 🙂

If there is some scambling, some snow, low profile race, it’s all bonus 🙂

In the US-NE, there’s the Whiteface Skyrace: 24.5km/15.2 miles for 2400m/8000ft of climbing.

For now, I’m looking at:
K3, a 3000m VK 🙂 http://www.vertikalk3.com/?lang=fr
Glencoe Skyline
Monterosa Sky marathon https://www.monterosaskymarathon.com/monte-rosa-skymarathon-2019/?lang=en
Pikes peak

Thanks

I’m watching this thread keenly as well. I’ve done Pike’s Peak (ascent and marathon) several times, but I’m not familiar with those others.

Jungfrau Marathon in Switzerland (42km ~1800m gain) https://www.jungfrau-marathon.ch/en/

Some of the Skyraces https://www.skyrunnerworldseries.com/races/

And an advertisement for some local marathon and ultra-marathon: UT4M https://ut4m.fr/en/trail-alps
You can run any of the 4 races as a single Marathon without the need to do all 4. This year they f**** it up and it was canceled. But in general the event was nice last year.

I ran Trail des 6 Cols (42K / 3500M+ ) one month ago, and it was amazing. Less Technical than Glen Coe, I think but relatively with high altitude parts (highest point of the race ~3500 mt) and beautiful sights.

I ran another local race in Italy, more techincal, but low altitude, with 42K and 3000M+ :
