19 to September 27, 2015 will be held the 10th jubilee of Elbrus Race -XInternationalElbrusRace.

Event dates (scheduled for the race itself 24ili 25 September) fits within couple days to the "first edition" Elbrus race organized by Vladimir Balyberdin at 1990 during which, exactly 25 years ago, Anatoly Boukreev established a unique record: 1h 47 11 minutes from the Refuge to the eastern peak of Elbrus

Also, exactly on this September (18 September), another adaptation of "Into Thin Air" is coming...

I thought that it would be great, this year to do one more distance, the same as we had in 1990: from Rufuge 11 to East Elbrus top.

That it would be great to give  mordern climbers a chance to compete with the greatClimber Anatoli Boukreev.
That it would be great to give Anatoliy one more opportunity once again to take part in his beloved high-speed ascent ...
 
Elbrus Race, is supported by NPF BASK
 
We are waiting for all those who love the mountains in the Elbrus region from 19 to 27 September
 
Yours faithfully/Nicholay Shustrov, 1990 Elbrus race  runner with time 2h12 minutes, 5-th result

PS - Boukreev' route will be added at the electronical registration ASAP!!

Dear mountain friends!

Dear participants of ER 1989-2015 years

12 years, since 2005, every year I organize and carry out a unique event - International Elbrus Race.  http://elbrusrace.com/2016/come-to-11-th-elbrus-race.html

Over the years, the competition proved to be the real international festival of climbing! Just this year (2016) we expect athletes and even entire teams from Russia, Belarus, India, Indonesia, Poland, the USA, Mongolia!

All absolute speed record to climb Elbrus fixed on our competitions! International Elbrus Race - it's certainly about the sport, but not only that, it is also a meeting place for different generations of climbers - where could You ask questions and talk easily with ER chief marshall Vladimir Shopin - the legend of the Soviet mountaineering and climbing, the Everest-1982 expedition member?

Unfortunately, at the last moment, the competition proved to have no general sponsor ... company which supported the competition over the last few years, at the last moment not confirmed its sponsorship!
