"The 2025 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships started on Thursday, September 25 with the World Mountain Running Championships Uphill race. The men had an 10:00 a.m. CEST start, and the women went one hour later. The all-uphill climb started two kilometers north of Canfranc and went 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) in distance, with a steady 990 meters (3,248 feet) of elevation gain. The course climbed through a black pine forest to a finish atop Larraca Mountain in the Spanish Pyrenees."
"Rémi Bonnet (Switzerland) won a showdown against two-time defending Uphill world champion Patrick Kipngeno (Kenya). Bonnet had missed almost the entire summer with an injury but throttled the field from the start, had a runaway lead by halfway, and won in 37:50. He was over a minute in front of everyone else. Nina Engelhard (Germany) scored a similar runaway win in the women's race. Racing at the world championships for the first time, Engelhard was 13 seconds in front at halfway and added to that gap in the race's late, steeper stretches. Engelhard won in 45:33."
