Press Release / 29.11.2011

The APEX Race, (Alpine Expedition Adventure Race) returns to the Berner Oberland for the second edition of “the most beautiful adventure race in the world”.

The beautiful Swiss Alpine region of Berner Oberland will once again host the Swiss World Series Adventure Race, the APEX Race. The host venue will be the town of Interlaken, known as the “Adventure Capital of Europe”, situated beautifully at the foot of the Alps and right in between the Lakes of Brienz and Thun.

Dates for the 2012 edition have moved forward a couple of weeks and are set for June 5th - 10th, which will again ensure adventurous experiences from different seasonal conditions.

The race in 2011 was set up to be one of the most beautiful and scenic races in the world and afterwards many teams would also regard it as one of the toughest and most challenging.

30 teams representing 17 different nations took part in the event and all greatly contributed to the positive, and friendly atmosphere that also came to characterize the event.

“We immediately felt after the success of this years’ event that we wanted to stay in Berner Oberland. There are still so many more fantastic places here to be explored and the community really helped in creating the pleasant and personal feel that we as organizers wanted for the APEX” said Race director Staffan Källbäck.

”The APEX in 2011 had one of the most beautiful race courses I have ever raced and was very well organized. We are definitely coming back in 2012! In addition, it is also a perfect way to prepare for the World Championships in France next year” says Björn Rydvall, captain of team Silva, who won the first edition of the APEX and just recently finished second in the AR World Championships in Australia.

Returning to the APEX is also the second placed Swiss team, which ensures another memorable battle between these great teams! Memorable is also what the Alpine Expedition Adventure Race promises to be in 2012, whether you come for winning or for an extraordinary challenge in an extraordinary environment!
