The first of the five 2015 Continental Championships kicks off in Asia in Hong Kong on February 7. Both the Sky and Ultra distances (26 km and 50 km) will be disputed at the MSIG Sai Kung 50 where points for the Skyrunner® World Series are also awarded.
China, with runners from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, will battle with top runners from Japan, Malaysia and Nepal for the Skyrunning Asian Championship medals – while a world-class line-up will be pushing for points in the World Series: the new 3 + 1 formula, where three out of five Series races in each discipline are scored, plus one race of any of the Continental Series.
Early points provide a great platform on which to build a season and this is reflected by the presence of top class athletes including:
Marco De Gasperi, Elisa Desco, Kasie Enman, Tom Owens, Fulvio Dapit, Stephanie Jimenez, Alesandra Carlini, Vlad Ixel, Samir Tamang, Luke Nelson, Blake Hose, Dong Li, Yan Long Fei, Mira Rei and many more.
