About Red Bull X-Alps
Red Bull X-Alps 2021 will start on June 20 and will be the tenth edition of the world's toughest adventure race. Approximately 30 world-class athletes will go head-to-head in a grueling journey across the Alps, covering over 1000km of Alpine terrain by foot and paraglider. Along the way, they'll stop at a currently undisclosed number of turnpoints in a handful of different countries. With each race comes an entirely new route, bringing even more action than the last.
Before the main event, a one-day prologue race will see athletes jostle for their starting position before a tense and excited audience. The top three finishers will earn themselves an additional Night Pass; allowing them to continue onwards through the mandatory rest period during the main race.
The last edition of Red Bull X-Alps ended on June 27, 2019, with 32 athletes from 20 countries pushing their endurance in hiking, trail running, mountaineering and paragliding to the limit. Their daily adventures in the mountains demand the highest level of physical strength and determination. Ultimately, the competitor's mental fortitude and race strategy are the deciding factor. Before taking to the air each day, athletes must assess the ever-changing weather conditions and decide where and when to take off. It's exactly this that makes Red Bull X-Alps so exciting and so unpredictable.
If the last edition was anything to go by, Red Bull X-Alps 2021 is set to be the most dramatic face-off of both new and seasoned talent that the world has ever seen. Who will stand strong in the face of adversity and conquer all to become the champion of Red Bull X-Alps 2021? We'll soon find out!
