The fourth edition of the Masters Skyrunning World Championships were celebrated in the French Alps at the Pierra Mentà Eté events in Arêches, Savoie, on 3-4 July 2026 where over-forties skyrunners from 25 countries participated in the VERTICAL and SKY disciplines.

Four age categories – over 40, over 45, over 50, and over 55 were awarded 48 medals across the two disciplines, while the country ranking will be calculated after the SKYULTRA, the Masters final in October.

The events kicked off on Friday, July 3 with the VERTICAL at the new Pierra Menta Verticale, specifically designed for the Championships – 3.8 km long with 870m vertical climb delivering stretches with a challenging 50-70% incline.
