"As with the other three championships, there is a 24,000 Euro prize purse between the men's and women's races, with 5,000 Euro to the winners and cash payouts through fifth place. To see more of who is racing, check out the complete start list for all of the events. In addition to our pre- and post-race coverage of the WMRC Up and Down race, we'll provide some race-day coverage, both liveblogging here on the website and across our social media."
"While Ugandan men have won each of the last two WMRC Up and Down races, there's no defending champ coming back this year, and the rest of the Ugandan squad appears untested. This puts Kenya's Philemon Kiriago as the favorite. He was second at the 2023 WMRC Up and Down race, won this year's Sierre-Zinal race, and he's been on the podium at all six Golden Trail World Series races he's entered this year."
On Sunday, September 28, the Up and Down race will conclude the 2025 World Mountain Running Championships. The course is 14.3 kilometers with 767 meters of elevation gain over two loops, each with one major climb. Women start at 10:30 a.m. CEST and men two hours later. The races share a 24,000 Euro purse, with 5,000 Euro for winners and payouts through fifth place. Coverage will include a liveblog and social media updates. Philemon Kiriago of Kenya is the pre-race favorite after recent podiums and a Sierre-Zinal win. Ugandan men have won the last two editions, but no defending champion is entered.
