Kamila Chomanicova won for the third year in a row at the Pyramidenkogel Tower Run in Austria on Saturday.
Slovakia’s Chomanicova reached the top of the tower in 2:52.83 with her compatriot Karmen Klančnik Pobežin taking second in 3:05.89. Austria’s Sabine Hasler was third in 3:15.15.
It was the fifth edition of the challenging event that sees runners set off up a 180m incline before entering the Pyramidenkogel Tower and scaling its 441 steps.
In the men’s event, Austria’s Jakob Mayer saw off a strong field of experienced stair runners to defend the title he secured at last year’s event.
Mayer’s 2:10.05 was quick enough to leave him comfortably ahead of a set of rivals that included Adrian Bednarski, Tomas Celko, Rafal Hazan, Pavel Holec, Martin Tomica and Mateusz Marunowski.
