For some, a 400-meter race sounds like an unsurpassable challenge. For others perhaps, not so much.

But this is not your average race.

Get your oxygen tank, believe me, you will need it.

All the way from the Olympics to The Crossfit Games and Spartan Races, there are always a bunch of people trying to test their bodies to the ultimate limit.

But how can a 400-meter race defy an athlete? Many that can race this quantity can even manage it while drinking a beer and then going on  with their average day!

This race might lack fire or huge jump gaps, but it definitely will make you regret that you are in it!

As you might know, Redbull is the responsible for many of the craziest competitions around the world. From go karts to handmade tricycles, these events are always trying to challenge the competitor to be better every time.

This race was no exception.

They took the traditional 400-meter race and turned it into an endurance day.

How, exactly? By adding a 37-degree inclination at a 7,000 feet (2,100 meters AMSL) altitude. Competitors have to race bottom to top in a ski jump ramp at Park City, Utah. No piece of cake.

Sarah Hendrickson, a former ski jumper athlete, was very excited. Since she’s been down that ramp many times while skiing, she thought it sounded great to try it the other way around.

Hyperventilation and cramps are a couple of the normal symptoms you’ll suffer when participating… Do you have the guts to try it?

Stay tuned at www.redbull.com the next race is on September 2017.
