We Ran Down The Most Infamous Ski Slope In The World... And This Is What Happened

If you take one ski slope and 2 runners, what do you get? An epic relay race, of course!

The inov-8 Descent Race+ is a race on The Hahnenkamm In Kitzbühel, Austria and for the first time this year, it’s a relay. Runners compete in pairs, with one runner going down the 350 metre slope before the other runner has to come back up. Sounds simple, right? Well, did we mention there is also a maximum gradient of 80%?

Watch as Jess and Tobias from The Running Channel take on this EPIC race. Will they complete this challenge in one piece? Keep watching to find out!
