At the May holidays in the Elbrus region is crowded:

Red Fox Company and Russian Mountaineering Federation with the support of Emercom of Russia, Government of the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria and International Skyrunning Federation conduct VI International festival Red Fox Elbrus Race on May 3-11, 2014.

The competition will take place on the Elbrus peak, the highest top of the Europe and the most popular Russian mountain region.

For several years the Festival Red Fox Elbrus Race with two races of the Russian National Series (Elbrus Vertical SkyMarathon® and Elbrus Vertical Kilometer®) is one of the central events in the skyrunning world. Elbrus Vertical Kilometer® and Elbrus Vertical SkyMarathon® were included in Skyrunner® World Series and the 50 World Ranking races of 2013 year. The best mountaineers, skiers and multisportsmen from all over the world come to participate in the Festival.

Last year the Red Fox Elbrus Race distinguished by the record established by the Italian skyrunner Marco Facchinelli in the main event of the Festival. The athlete overcame the very hard distance with height more than 3000 meters difference from Azau's glade to the West Elbrus Peak only in 3 hours 30 minutes. And the ordinary person needs not less than 1 day to carry out the same route.

But more than likely this record will be broken in the Festival Red Fox Elbrus Race 2014. Even now the desire to participate in the most high-altitude race of the world was expressed by many leaders of international skyrunning.

Harry Kikstra and Ivan Corea now have two sons! We are very happy for them. And we hope to meet our friends somewhere in the vastness of our planet. Harry Kikstra means a lot for the program of the 7 Summits and we very much appreciate the friendship with him. Continue to be happy, Harry, Ivana and two kids!

Alex and Harry - two Sevensummitsmen

Almost all members of the group Everest climbers from 7 Summits Club took part in the competition. The event was held on the system "each with each" to 3 sets. Games stretched for almost the whole day. Chief judge of competitions was Ivona Zadarnovska-Wingert from Poland (by the friendly nickname "merry Pole").

By the end of the competition day by scoring we identified leaders who again played each other for prizes. As a result, Vladislav Lachkarev from Siberian Irkutsk won first place, second place went to Irishman Derek Mahon, and third place – for charming Muscovite Natalia Matusowa.

Evening at the banquet table, the winner was awarded a prize - a bottle of expensive wine. Vladislav first wanted to retire with this bottle in his tent, but decided to split the prize between all team members. As Vlad said during a toast : "Better to be first in the base camp than on Everest a second ! "

Now, the team members are trained for the next competition - are preparing in billiards.

Alex Abramov from BC:

Today, 11 members left in Old Tingri to lick their wounds. And remaining in the base camp 8 members staged bath.

Alex: Because I had a bad cough and to prevent bronchitis, I went down for treatment at 1000 m below the base camp. To breathe "oxygen" and sleep in the warmth of the village of Old Tingri (altitude 4200m) .

There I suddenly met a team of Alpine Club of MAI (Moscow Aviation University), which just drives into the base camp Cho Oyu. They are 6 climbers led by Misha Volkov.
