Andy Symonds places 3rd in the 2008 Buff SkyRunner World Series
Congratulations to Andy Symonds who have finished a superb 3rd overall in the 2008 Buff SkyRunner World Series. In 2007, Andy placed 4th overall and his excellent form on the European mountains this year has been rewarded with a top three placing.

Is this Andy?

The final event in the gruelling series took place last Sunday at the 43km Sentiero delle Grigne Sky Race in north western Italy. The race started in a small Alpine village and ran along tracks, Alpine paths and pastures to the spectacular crests of the Grigne mountains, before looping back to the start.

Andy put in a sterling performance finishing 11th from the 418 runners in 5.13.56. Full results HERE. This tremendous result backed up with his previous performances in the SkyRunner World Series won Andy the bronze medal and a podium finish. Well done Andy!
