Twenty-nine nations showed up to compete in the Skyrunning European Championships in the Central Italian Alps, July 3-5, 2025.

Kicking off the events with 24 country teams was a new, specially designed VERTICAL course, the Aprica Vertical, 4.5 km long with 950m vertical climb in the Aprica-Corteno ski resort.

The steep uphill challenge with a 55% incline in places, pushed the athletes to their limits. Italy came out on top clinching the two gold medals with epic performances by Daniel Thedy, summiting in an incredible 34’43” and Benedetta Broggi in 42’00”.

Teams from 27 countries will attend the 12th edition of the Skyrunning European Championships in Italy on July 3-5, 2025, at the iconic – and historic – SkyMarathon which will also be celebrating 30 years since the first race in 1995.

The challenge is on for the 27 medals at stake across three skyrunning disciplines. Coincidentally, the countries represented from right across Europe are also 27, with top stars and past champions lining up.
