Toughest 400m race in the world, where competitors run up a ski jump

If somebody challenged you to run 400 meters, you’d most likely have no trouble – but what if those 400 meters were up a ski jump? Yep, us neither.

That’s the challenge on offer at the Red Bull 400, quite possibly the toughest 400m race in existence, now in its seventh year.

The Red Bull 400 series tours 17 ski jumps across Europe, Asia and North America – including four new ones this season – welcoming entrants to take on the ultimate test of endurance and strength.
