The fifth race of the 2019 Golden Trail World Series is perhaps the most famed trail race on American soil, and this year the Pikes Peak Mountain Marathon will play host to the elite athletes of the sport. Spain’s Kilian Jornet (Team Salomon) leads an all-star cast from around the globe that will take to the starting line on Sunday morning, August 25th.

Spain’s Kilian Jornet (Team Salomon) ran away from one of the most competitive trail running fields in recent memory to win in 2:25:35, shattering Jonathan Wyatt’s longstanding course record of 2:29:12 by three minutes and 37 seconds. It was Jornet’s seventh win at Sierre-Zinal in nine tries.

This Sunday’s fourth Golden Trail World Series race of 2019, the famed Sierre-Zinal race in the Swiss Alps, is loaded with top runners. The most popular and consensus top trail runner on the planet, Kilian Jornet, will return to action in search of his seventh win at Sierre-Zinal after he won his record sixth title last year by running away from the field in the second half of the race.

On Sunday morning, 21-year-old Italian runner from Team Salomon, Davide Magnini, took apart another impressive field, this time in his homeland, winning the Dolomyths Run in 2 hours and 28 seconds.
