Alpen Challenge Lenzerheide

Even without the Splügen Pass, the 20th Alpen Challenge has lived up to its name. After 3:46:11 hours on Sunday, Niki Hug from Olten won the 117.4 kilometre «short distance» of the Alpen Challenge ahead of the Engadine Fadri Barandun and last year's runner-up Wolfgang Voit. Last year's runner-up Nina Zoller from Chur left no questions unanswered in the women's competition and won in 4:03:32 hours by 24:14 minutes ahead of Monika Dietl from Freising in Germany and Joy Welti from Walenstadt.
