Live Broadcasts
This edition we are working with Paragliding Live to deliver our live broadcasts. To watch our live reports from the start of the race, tune in at 9:15am (CET) on Sunday 21 June on our YouTube channel to see live coverage and commentary.
We will then be broadcasting live from the sign-in board at turnpoint one at Larun, once the first athletes get closer. They must hike to this turnpoint so the fastest should arrive within 2–3 hours, depending on conditions.
The prize-giving broadcast will start at 10am CET on 28 June 2026.
We will be coming live from various turnpoints, en-route and from goal. We will post on the WhatsApp channel when we are going live, so subscribe to never miss an important event in the race.
Don’t worry if you miss them… they are recorded and you can watch later once they are on our channel.
