On June 16, 2019, the world’s toughest adventure race returns for its ninth edition. If you think you have what it takes to compete in this unique hike and fly adventure, now is the time to apply. Be quick though, the application phase stays open for just one more month and will close on August 31, 2018. To sign up for the opportunity to compete at Red Bull X-Alps 2019, simply fill out the application form on the website and submit your details.

With each race comes a new and exciting mix of international athletes from race rookies to seasoned veterans; and this could be your chance to join the adventure. Traveling only by foot and paraglider, you will battle through the Alps and go head to head along an entirely new route. The official athlete selection will then be announced on October 16, 2018.

Discussing the application process, race director Christoph Weber explains; “The selection of the athletes is extremely difficult and one of the most important aspects of the competition. It’s not just about getting out there and flying. You need the strength of both body and mind to push yourself day after day, sometimes for as long as two weeks straight. Athletes with this level of drive and determination are the ones who make Red Bull X-Alps such an incredible story!”
