Der GORE-TEX® Transalpine-Run gilt als eine der größten Herausforderungen für Trail- und Bergläufer. In 8 Tagen überqueren 300 Zweier-Teams aus der ganzen Welt den Alpenhauptkamm. Die Filmemacher Miriam Jakobs und Gerhard Schick haben eine 60 minütige Dokumentation über den GORE-TEX® Transalpine-Run gedreht. Sie begleiteten zwei dieser Teams über die Alpen.

One of the big trail running challenges and a well organised event.  for 2012 team Salomon Ausria will have Markus Kroell on the start and he will most likely start with Salomon Germany's Helmut Schiesel.  Watch this blog (RSS feed) for more transalpine news.

Salomon and Suunto are event partners.  Salomon makes shoes, bags and clothes that can take the extreme challenges of the alpine environment - it's designed and tested in the alps.  Suunto now has the new Ambit and its the chance to measure and share your GPS track, vertical speed and distance on this tough and cool watch.

Places are sold out already - it is full up but it is now the time for thinking for 2013 - It is a VERY hard run and so you need the fitness - 18months of preparation so if you want to take the challenge, check the video and make a plan!  - Jw
