As partner of the Crossalps 2013 competition, each year Hanwag gives the ‘Hanwag Crazy Walker Award' to participants who reached the longest distance by foot. Kirsten Preiss and Clemens van Soest won the award with distances of 41.5 miles and 65.2 miles, respectively. Both won a pair of Hanwag shoes of their choice. The hike & fly competition ‘crossalps' includes the condition that participants have to walk away as far as possible from the place of departure and come back with the next 33 hours. The flight route needs to account for at least 20 percent of the complete route.
