This division is led by two pace leaders, does not allow running and does not include a podium, though hikers are entered into prize draws and on-site activities. Estimated finish times are about 2 hours for the Sport course and 3 hours for the Enduro.
Gondola tickets are not included with event registration; a limited number of discounted gondola tickets are available for separate purchase through the registration platform. The event is cup free; water and an electrolyte beverage are available at the start, finish and at one or more aid stations. The on-course electrolyte beverage is Blonyx Hydra Plus, made with real food ingredients. Optional swag and finisher medals can be pre-purchased or obtained on site while supplies last and must be picked up at the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
