States of Elevation: Kilian Jornet's next challenge
Kilian Jornet has always seen racing and projects as the same path. For years, he’s combined competitions with long, solo adventures in the mountains, from the Pyrenees to the Alps, to test both his physiological limits and his greater purpose.
States of Elevation is the natural continuation of that journey: a human-powered project connecting 14,000-foot peaks of the U.S., entirely on foot and bike.
