Pichrtova runs away in Switzerland
Sunday’s Skyrunner® World Series Trial saw two mountain running icons, Anna Pichrtova and Robert Krupicka take the podium in the International SkyRace® on the Italian-Swiss border. Bad weather conditions forced the organisers to reduce the usual 31km course to a mere 20km to safeguard the 506 participants.
