International Skyrunning Federation Rules International Skyrunning Federation Rules 1. Introduction 1.1 An international federation for skyrunning (running at altitude) has been founded in 2008 following the transformation of the Federation for Sport at Altitude (FSA), founded in 1 !" The $nternational Skyrunning Federation, hereinafter $SF, was %reated to promote, go&ern and administer the sport of skyrunning and similar multi'sports a%ti&ities. 1.2 The $SF undertakes to diffuse the pra%ti%e of skyrunning with respe%t for the environment, to promote pri&ate and publi% sports e&ents, to de&elop training s%hools and to foster the physi%al welfare of %ompetitors. The $SF aims to administer the sport of skyrunning, %ompetitions and e&ents as an independent $nternational Federation with its own legal entity" 1.3 The $nternational Skyrunning Federation ($SF) is responsible for all aspe%ts of international skyrunning and asso%iated mountain multi'sports %ompetitions at altitude" The principal purposes of the $SF are the dire%tion, regulation, promotion, de&elopment and furtherance of the sport of skyrunning and high altitude multi'sports on a worldwide basis. 1.4 The $SF fosters links, networks, and friendly relations among its members, their athletes and offi%ials. The $SF is the final authority for all matters %oncerning skyrunning and mountain multi'sports %ompetitions at altitude" 1.5 The $SF is a non'go&ernmental international asso%iation with a non-profit-making purpose of international interest, ha&ing legal personality pursuant to Art" 60 ff" of the Swiss )i&il )ode" The $SF seat is in Switzerland. 1.6 These regulations aim to be the international reference for worldwide skyrunning %ompetitions and to represent a guideline for national %ompetition regulations. The purpose of these rules is to describe the obligations and rights of %ompetitors who parti%ipate in the offi%ial $SF international skyrunning %ompetitions and those that organise them" 1.7 The offi%ial language of the $SF is +nglish.

Seven mountain runners participated in this study. They competed in vertical (VR), 10-25 km, 25-45 km and >45 km races. The HR response was measured during the races to calculate the exercise intensity and PL according to the HR at which both the ventilatory (VT) and respiratory compensation threshold (RCT) occurred. The exercise intensity below VT and between VT and RCT increased with mountain running race distance. Likewise, the percentage of racing time spent above RCT decreased when race duration increased. However, the time spent above RCT was similar between races (~50 min). The PL was significantly higher (p<.05) during the longest races (145.0±18.4, 288.8±72.5, 467.3±109.9 and 820.8±147.0 AU in VR, 10-25 km, 25-45 km and >45 km, respectively). The ratio of PL to accumulative altitude gain was similar in all races (~0.16 AU·m-1).

  • Physiological Determinants of Ultramarathon Trail-Running Performance
    International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, (Ahead of Print) https://doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2020-0766 © 2021 Human Kinetics, Inc. ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION Physiological Determinants of Ultramarathon Trail-Running Performance Alexandra M. Coates, Jordan A. Berard, Trevor J. King, and Jamie F. Burr Context: The physiological determinants of ultramarathon success have rarely been assessed and likely differ in their contributions to performance as race distance increases. Purpose: To examine predictors of performance in athletes who completed either a 50-, 80-, or 160-km trail race over a 20-km loop course on the same day. Methods: Measures of running history, aerobic fitness, running economy, body mass loss, hematocrit alterations, age, and cardiovascular health were examined in relation to race-day performance. Performance was defined as the percentage difference from the winning time at a given race distance, with 0% representing the fastest possible time. Results: In the 50-km race, training volumes, cardiovascular health, aerobic fitness, and a greater loss of body mass during the race were all related to better performance (all P < .05). Using multiple linear regression, peak velocity achieved in the maximal oxygen uptake test (β = −11.7, P = .002) and baseline blood pressure (β =3.1,P = .007) were the best performance predictors for the men’s 50-km race (r =.98,r2 = .96, P < .001), while peak velocity achieved in the maximal oxygen uptake test (β = −13.6, P = .001) and loss of body mass (β =12.8,P = .03) were the best predictors for women (r = .94, r2 = .87, P =.001).Inthe 80-km race, only peak velocity achieved in the maximal oxygen uptake test predicted performance (β = −20.3, r = .88, r2 = .78, P < .001).

    For Immediate Release – March 17, 2005 – Happy St. Patrick’s Day Contact: Nancy Hobbs, PO Box 9454 Colorado Springs, CO 80932 (719) 573-4133 Fax (719) 573-4408 E-mail: [email protected] US Mountain Runners to Compete on the Trails in Japan Six athletes will represent the United States in the inaugural 100-kilometer Japan mountain race, the “Challenger’s Race 2005,” which is to be held in the suburban mountains of Tokyo on April 29 2005. According to organizer and Japanese businessman Todd Itezono, “The event will be used as a tool to pinpoint and emphasize the wonderfulness of the natural and physical world and will serve to stress the importance of how human beings need to live symbiotically with nature, to preserve them by running through a trail, under trees, and next to plants and flowers, so to avoid any further man-made natural disasters. By inviting runners from other countries, we want to stress that such an action needs combined effort from everybody on earth, because nature does not belong to only one country but to all humanity.” The race will be run on the Okutama Mountain range outside Tokyo and will offer courses at 10km, 50km, and 100km as well as relay competition. More than 1500 runners are expected and an estimate of 10,000 spectators. US team members will compete in the 10km event, the 50km, and the 100km. The course ranges in elevations from 200 meters to more than 2000 meters. “On behalf of USA Track and Field and the World Mountain Running Association, I am delighted to be a part of this mission and look forward to competing on the trails in Japan.

  • BLM Proposes $1000 Incentive for Wild Horse
    BLM proposes $1,000 incentive for wild horse adoption By Scott Sonner, AP RENO — U.S. land managers are proposing offering $1,000 to anyone willing to adopt wild horses gathered from public lands to alleviate a backlog of mustangs in government corals and shrink what they say are badly overpopulated herds across the West. Overwhelmed by what it characterizes as a $1 billion problem, the Bureau of Land Management proposed the novel approach to Congress on Thursday and also made requests to sterilize, euthanize or sell for slaughter tens of thousands of animals. Read the whole story Bachelor’s, teaching credential available at LTCC Lake Tahoe Community College and Brandman University are hosting free information sessions this week about a four-year degree option coming to the South Lake Tahoe campus this fall. The two-year community college and the private nonprofit university will offer a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies, leading to a multiple subject teaching credential. This bachelor’s degree, which can be earned entirely on LTCC’s South Shore campus in the Lisa Maloff University Center, will start Sept. 4. California is in the midst of a teacher crisis, with thousands of K-12 teaching positions left unfilled. The state has an annual shortage of 40,000 fewer teaching credentials being issued than is required to meet its K-12 teaching needs. Locally, the Lake Tahoe Unified School District has hired nearly 80 teachers in the past five years to keep up with the demand. There will be information sessions about the program in LTCC’s Student Center on May 1 from noon-1pm and 5-6:30pm, and May 2 from 5:30-7pm.

  • 2015 Alaska Runner's Calendar
    ALASKA RUNNER'S CALENDar 2015 The running community is extremely proud to have selected this outstanding candidate for the cover of the 2015 Alaska Runner’s Calendar. (Photo courtesy of Anchorage Running Club) Flip and Patti Foldager Hiking along a trail on the Kenai Peninsula, in the Anchorage Bowl or somewhere in the Mat-Su Valley, it would not be unheard of to suddenly be passed by Flip and Patti Foldager out for one of their trail runs. For more than 35 years, the Foldagers have been an inspirational and active force within Alaska’s running community – in particular, mountain running. Not only are they highly accomplished athletes but they have given much of their time to create, support and promote numerous running events and activities. When referring to the Foldagers enduring athletes, it becomes clear when you look at the events they have participated in. Flip has competed in Mount Marathon 35 times; Patti only 32 (but she did win it twice and took second five times). Basically, if there is a trail run somewhere between Homer and Talkeetna, chances are the Foldagers have done it. Events they have tackled are: Mat Peak, Lazy Mountain, Crow-Pass Crossing, Bird Ridge, Alyeska Classic Mountain Run, Hope Wagon Run, Lost Lake, Dip Sea Race,…the list goes on and on. They also assisted with and participate in the Exit Glacier Run. Of course, their true impact has been in how they have given back to the running community. Living in Seward, Flip is a volunteer for Mount Marathon Race and Safety committee.

    Athletics is an exclusive collection of sporting events that involve competitive running, jumping, throwing, and walking. The most common types of athletics competitions are track and field, road running, cross country running, and race walking. The simplicity of the competitions, and the lack of a need for expensive equipment, makes athletics one of the most commonly competed sports in the world. Organised athletics are traced back to the Ancient Olympic Games from 776 BC, and most modern events are conducted by the member clubs of the International Association of Athletics Federations. The athletics meeting forms the backbone of the modern Summer Olympics, and other leading international meetings include theIAAF World Championships and World Indoor Championships, and athletes with aphysical disability compete at the Summer Paralympics and the IPC Athletics World Championships. Etymology The word athletics is derived from the Greek word "athlos" (0șȜȠȢ), meaning "contest" or "task." Initially, the term was used to describeathletic contests in general ± i.e. sporting competition based primarily on human physical feats. In the 19th century in Europe, the term athletics acquired a more narrow definition and came to describe sports involving competitive running, walking, jumping and throwing. This definition continues to be the most prominent one in the United Kingdom and most of the areas of the former British Empire. Furthermore, foreign words in many Germanic and Romance languages which are related to the term athletics also have a similar meaning. In contrast to this, in much of North America athletics is synonymous with athletic sports in general, maintaining a more historic usage of the term.
