The world’s toughest adventure race is back for its tenth edition and excitement levels are already starting to climb. A new race brings new challenges; look forward to a new route, new Turnpoints, and of course, new athletes. Do you think you’ve got what it takes to hike and fly over 1,000km across the Alps? Think you can take the place of 6 edition’s reigning champion, Chrigel Maurer?

If you feel ready for this extreme challenge, circle July 1 to August 31, 2020 in your calendar, so you have enough time to start preparing your application for Red Bull X-Alps 2021. We can suggest starting immediately to make sure you have all the requirements and are ready to fill in the online form on redbullxalps.com.

"The selection of the athletes is extremely challenging and one of the most important aspects of the competition. It's not just about getting out there and flying. You need the strength of both body and mind to push yourself day after day, sometimes for as long as two weeks straight”, explains race director Christoph Weber.


Experience, previous competitive results and the ability to hike and fly your way across the Alps are just a few factors considered.

If there’s one event that is a testament to “Anything can happen”, it’s Red Bull X-Alps. Everything you can imagine happened in the 2019 edition, from wild weather conditions to nerve-wracking landings in ravines – it was a race to be remembered. Once again, Chrigel Maurer (SUI1) took first place, in an unbelievable time of 9d 3h 6m. Hot on his heels in second place was the French newcomer, Maxime Pinot (FRA4), and in a crazy turn of events the battle for third place became a friendly tie between Paul Guschlbauer (AUT1) and Benoit Outters (FRA1).

There are so many reasons to sign up for Red Bull X-Alps but it takes a lot to be an athlete in the world’s toughest race. Experience, previous competitive results and the ability to hike and fly your way across the Alps are just a few factors considered. A relentless motivation and drive should carry you all the way, especially in something that demands all of your time. It’s not just a physical race, it’s a mental race too. This is the reason that every team has an official supporter, someone you can literally trust with your life. Putting together a dedicated team is as important as your training; so use the time you have to ensure you’re 150% ready.
