You-- The thing is, is that I th- I actually think that they are the races that if they could choose, is what they would be doing But the media has gone somewhere else, and the brands need exposure.
Ian CorlessGUEST
So if you're Ingrid Caspersen or Petter Engdahl and you're sponsored by Adidas and you say, "I wanna go to Trofeo Kima," which is one week after UTMB or one week before UTMB this year, and, and, and somebody at Adidas says, "Uh, yeah, but you know, UTMB is, is the week before.
Ian CorlessGUEST
You're not going to Kima." "Yeah, but Kima is what I want to do." "Yeah, but, but, but Adidas need exposure at UTMB." And that is, that is the modern-day dilemma of the sport.
Ian CorlessGUEST
Now, going back to Golden Trails is they've managed to sort of like navigate that middle ground, I think, in that they've, they've taken what skyrunning was doing and developed their own circuit.

Logical race.
Ian CorlessGUEST
It starts at the sea, it goes to the summit, and it goes back down to the sea.
Ian CorlessGUEST
Trofeo Kima in Italy, the best skyrunning race in the world.
Ian CorlessGUEST
Sentiero Green, another skyrunning race, really extreme, really exposed, really dangerous.
Simone BrickHOST
I think when I was looking it up, somewhere between 500 and 600 people have died there.
Simone BrickHOST
that mountain um it's not for the faint of heart by any means and but it is also where Callie was comfortable and was home so it's just scary to think that someone with that much uh ability and skill on that terrain like it just can be such a small moment and seconds and things can happen so Yeah, Callie, just a week earlier, she was at – I was with Callie at Trofeo Kima.
Simone BrickHOST
She came fourth at Kima just, yeah, about a week, eight days earlier.
Simone BrickHOST
So that one was – Just heartbreaking, to be honest.
Ed ScottHOST
Doug?
Doug StewartGUEST
I think the, my favorite race is one called Trofeo Kima.
Doug StewartGUEST
It's highly technical.
Doug StewartGUEST
It's one of the few I've done three times, so I'd quite happily go back and do it a fourth and a fifth and so on.
Doug StewartGUEST
The other races that used to exist that were like that, um, Tromso up in Norway and the Glencoe Skyline, um, no longer exist.
Doug StewartGUEST
Um, and they were both fantastic races as well.
Doug StewartGUEST
But yeah, for me, Trofeo Kima is just something that's very special, and it's a very small field.
Doug StewartGUEST
It's very Italian.
