Tak­ing place at ski jump­ing venues around the world, the Red Bull 400 is where glut­­ton-for-pun­ish­­ment types shell out their hard-earned cash for the oppor­tu­ni­ty to clam­ber up a ski jump in the com­pa­ny of like-mind­ed adren­a­line junkies.

Ladies and gen­tle­men, wel­come to the Red Bull 400: a

The ele­va­tion chart looks like a car­dio­gram of some­one hav­ing a night­mare. We met up with Bri­an Mor­ri­son, the Tean­away Coun­try 100 Race Direc­tor to dis­cuss the 2017 inau­gur­al run­ning of his mas­ter­piece, as well as

Small­er packs, lighter gear, and few­er clothes are becom­ing com­mon­place along the world’s longest thru-hikes.
