 Girls will run for the first time in a class "Extreme"!

For the first time in the whole history of International Elbrus Race not only men are declared in "Extreme" class:  two girls have decided to risk to run up from  Azau (2400 m) to the Western top of Elbrus. The moment is, frankly speaking, the historical. More than 3 km of altitude difference.

These courageous girls are Maria Khitrikova (Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine) and Alexandra Dzik (Poland). Both girls are high-altitude climbers.

 Masha Khitrikova was the last year's champion among women on a classical line (Barrels - the Western top of Elbrus).
