The first two days of the St. Moritz Running Festival have already passed. Once more, we were lucky with the weather. On Friday, 60 athletes ran the first of three stages of the "Crossing Engiadina"41 men and 19 women ran 22.5 km and over 1200m in altitude. On Saturday, 91 athletes took on the challenge of the Free Fall Vertical. 1069 meters up over only 6.6km from the St. Moritz Lake to the Free Fall. At the very last section, the athletes must overcome the 150 meters with 45-degree gradient to the finish line on the platform where in winter the World Ski Championship starts.The second stage of the "Crossing Engiadina" took 56 athletes all the way from Samedan up to Trais Fluors to Corviglia and back down to the Festival Village in St. Moritz. 21.3km and 1320m up.

Δημήτρης Τρουπής

Κατάγεται από το Ξυλόκαστρο Κορινθίας και ζει μόνιμα στην Πάτρα. Συμμετείχε στην συντακτική ομάδα του Adventure Zone από το 2009, ενώ μαζί με τον Τάκη Τσογκαράκη ίδρυσαν και "τρέχουν" το Advendure.  Το τρέξιμο στα μονοπάτια των βουνών και η μεταφορά εικόνων και συναισθημάτων μέσα από τα άρθρα του αποτελεί αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της ζωής του. Παθιάζεται με τους αγώνες ορεινού τρεξίματος, υπεραντοχής και  περιπέτειας. Έχει πολλές συμμετοχές και διακρίσεις σε αγώνες ορεινού τρεξίματος όλων των αποστάσεων, με έμφαση στους αγώνες ultra trail.  Θεωρεί ότι το τρέξιμο και η πεζοπορία στη φύση είναι μια εσωτερική ανάγκη του ανθρώπου, μας φέρνει πιο κοντά σε αυτήν και μας κάνει να αγαπήσουμε περισσότερο το περιβάλλον.
