The Peak Performance Vertical K begins in Åre Torg with a mass start, ascending directly towards the summit of Åreskutan. This 5 km uphill trail race features exactly 1,000 meters of vertical gain and takes place every Tuesday evening during the Kia Fjällmaraton in the Åre mountains.
While short, this race demands full effort from start to finish, as the organizers advise. The course records are demanding: Emmie Collinge's women's record stands at 46:24, and Kilian Jornet's men's record is 39:13. Prize money is awarded to the top three women and men. Additionally, Peak Performance provides a race-specific training plan via its Strava club, structured around three weekly sessions.
