Montegrappa Trail Running Award

About This Project

This project was born from a need to effectively score Hike & Fly races. Given the lack of affordable tracking instruments, Simone began exploring potential solutions. With Max's experience as an official FAI director and his extensive network, we shadowed several races to better understand the requirements. Now, in pursuit of our goal to democratize Hike & Fly and attract more pilots to the sport, the platform is ready for deployment and use.
