After 3 amazing days, the St. Moritz Running Festival 2021 comes to an end. Sweat, physical exhaustion, tired legs, fun, excitement, tears, laughters and joy... all the thrills for the sports enthusiasts. Today, on it's final day, 55 runners started the last stage of "Crossing Engiadina". The "Trail da Lej", with 26.9km and 1296m altitude, the hardest but maybe also one of the most beautiful routes of the multistage run. The winnners, none other than Anna Hahner and Alessandro Santini seized the win over all three stages. Also, ON-Runner Timo Schröder defended his place on the pedestal.
The legendary "Engadiner Sommerlauf" pulled 583 people to run the 25.5km. It felt like one of the warmest days of the year today, but the route fortunately took the runners through the beautiful forests, where they could cool off a bit in the shade of the pine trees. Kenyan Isaac Kipkemboi Too won in the overall men's ranking with only 1:20.36 hours. Italian runner Ivana Iozzia was the fastest woman 1:39.55 hours.
The "Muragl Lauf» seems to be an easy one with only 12 km. However, speed counts even more in this race. Swiss runner Beatriz Caspar was the fastest woman with 45.29 minutes and Filip Vercruysse from Berlin won the first place in the overall men's ranking with 41.40 minutes.

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.
