So, it seems like yesterday that the world’s top mountain runners were hanging up their race shoes and getting out their skis. But on the 8th of March the first race in the 2009 Skyrunner World Series Trials takes place in Mexico.

The world mountain running scene takes in every major continent, and the Skyrunner series coupled with the WMRA Grand Prix (and now World Mountain Running Championships) mean that the world’s best mountain racers can compete at the highest level for almost 9 months of the year.

The complete 2009 racing calendar can be found on the excellent Federation for Sport at Altitude site.
