Hike and fly. That\u2019s what this race is all about. It\u2019s what the late Hannes Arch envisioned when he came up with the idea for the Red Bull X-Alps almost 20 years ago. Hike and fly all the way from Salzburg to Monaco \u2013 adventure at its simplest and purest.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, on Titlis, that\u2019s exactly what fans, supporters (and a few bemused tourists) got to witness \u2013 athletes hiking up the glacier, and then launching into one of most dramatic landscapes of the Alps, the Bernese Oberland. And these were some of the most exciting-to-watch launches imaginable, from Paul Guschlbauer and Aaron Durogati\u2019s nail-biting take-off from a sketchy snow slope down the steep south face. Or the \u2018superman\u2019 take-off from Patrick von K\u00e4nel (SUI2).<\/p>\n

Watch\u00a0here<\/a>,\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One after another they slogged through the snow, except Durogati of course, who preferred to keep his feet dry by scrambling over a rocky pinnacle at the side of the glacier.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnow is for skiing, not for hiking,\u201d he told us.<\/p>\n

Athletes to successfully tag Turnpoint 7 today include Guschlbauer, Durogati, Benoit Outters (FRA1), von K\u00e4nel and Gaspard Petiot (FRA2). Markus Anders (GER2) looked set to reach it by close of play. If Petiot and Anders decide to spend the night in the mountain station, they can look forward to sleeping in a \u2018Panorama Lounge\u2019 with incredible views in every direction.<\/p>\n

Next in line to pay homage to the race\u2019s highest Turnpoint \u2013 and the half way point \u2013 will be Tom de Dorlodot (BEL), Simon Oberrauner (AUT2), Manuel N\u00fcbel (GER1) and Toma Coconea (ROU), still going strong on his ninth Red Bull X-Alps outing.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the race the pack is now truly spread out. The distance between Chrigel Maurer, currently speeding through France like a Swiss express train and Colombia\u2019s Alex Villa, half way between Kronplatz and Lermoos is over 400km.<\/p>\n

Three athletes have pulled Night Passes tonight, the longest day of the year. They are Thomas Christensen (DNK), Willi Cannell (USA2) and Tobias Grossrubatscher (ITA2).<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first it made me wonder why so many pulled a Night Pass for no obvious reason. But maybe today being midsummer is why,\u201d race director Christoph Weber told us.<\/p>\n

There is another practical reason. Athletes are desperate to make Titlis by the weekend so they can take advantage of the lifting of airspace restrictions. The complicated limits imposed by Meiringen airspace do not apply on Saturday and Sunday. Grossrubatscher has his own motivation. He was forced to sit out today after breaking an airspace violation, so is keen to get back in the action and make up some lost ground.<\/p>\n

Having been going six days, athletes are now beginning to hurt. \u201cThe suffering starts now,\u201d says race co-founder Ulrich Grill. For some, it\u2019s probably already begun.<\/p>\n
