DUBLIN, IRELAND (Geared Up Blog) - Angela Mudge and Kilian Jornet are the champions of the 2007 Buff Skyrunner World Series. Mudge retained her crown from last year and Jornet becomes the youngest ever champion Skyrunner World Series at the age of just 19. He captured his title with an impressive 4 wins out of 4 races in Andorra, Malaysia, Japan and Spain(Zegama).

The race, held in the Sierra de Aizkorri, had a marathon distance (42,195km) and an accumulated ascent and descent of 5.472m. It was a very technical and difficult route, crossing the highest peaks of Euskadi (Aratz, Aizkorri, Aketegi and Aitxuri). Jornet put himself among the leaders at the beginning of the race, along with the Segovian Raúl García, and members of the Catalan team Tòfol Castanyer and Jessed Hernàndez, and local racers Zuhaitz Ezpeleta and Fernando Echegaray. This group quickly broke away from the rest of the 450 participants, and it was predictable that they would compete for the final victory.
