July 12 2024 - 9:00AM
HotelPlanner, a leading travel technology platform and hotel
booking engine, today announced a new partnership with the Merrell
Skyrunner® World Series, the world’s most technical racing circuit
for running, as their official accommodation provider.
The Merrell Skyrunner® World Series has served as the official
racing circuit of Skyrunning worldwide since 2004 and represents
the highest level of the sport. The series encompasses 21 iconic
races in 13 countries across four continents, where elite athletes
compete to be the best Skyrunner of 2024. Competing for points
throughout the year, athletes aim to qualify for the exclusive
final race of the season, the SkyMasters, for prize money.
Each race in the Merrell Skyrunner® World Series
is a true test of skill, endurance, and bravery, set amidst
jaw-dropping scenery, including glaciers, knife-edge ridges, and
technical terrain. Courses are typically between 20-30 km long,
with elevations of over 2,000 m, and combine runnable trails with
highly technical terrain, including sharp ridges, snowy climbs, and
steep rocky descents.
From the Alps to the Andes, the Merrell
Skyrunner® World Series selects only the best SkyRaces in stunning
locations worldwide. This attracts the fastest and most fearless
skyrunners, who strive to be crowned the best in the world. The
top-performing male and female athletes are declared champions at
the end of the season.
All attendees, participants, friends and family may
use this site to book at a lower
rate.
"Partnering with HotelPlanner as our official accommodation
provider will ensure our Skyrunners, their family and friends, and
our staff, can access the best lodging options available across
four continents, which can be challenging in remote locales. This
collaboration enhances the overall experience of our racing events,
making it easier for everyone involved to focus on the thrill of
skyrunning," says Etienne Rodriguez, Managing
Director, Merrell Skyrunner® World
Series.
"We are thrilled to be the official accommodation provider for
the Merrell Skyrunner® World Series, offering our services to their
racing community of fearless athletes," says Tim Hentschel,
Co-Founder and CEO of HotelPlanner. "Our commitment to
delivering seamless and comfortable stays aligns perfectly with
Skyrunner’s dedication to providing exceptional experiences at all
21 of their racing events across the globe."
