British army in 1880 in Afghanistan and who was awarded the title<br />
‘Earl of Kandahar’. The first Kandahar race took place in 1928 in<br />
St. Anton am Arlberg and ever since 1954 <strong>Garmisch</strong>-<strong>Partenkirchen</strong><br />
is also amongst the places where this ski sports event with its long<br />
standing tradition takes place.<br />
And where you usually only see ski stars fight for every hundredth of<br />
a second, hobby athletes can carve in the tracks of the myth: With two<br />
options and a total of 1,800 altitude meters (nearly 6,000 ft) and 7<br />
kilometers (more than 4 miles) of distance, the ‘Kandahar-circuit’<br />
through <strong>Garmisch</strong>-Classic is an unforgettable experience. Thanks to<br />
the Kandahar express’ halfway station, less ambitious winter athletes<br />
can simply leave out the more spectacular and sometimes very<br />
challenging parts of the World Championship run but still catch a<br />
glimpse of the myth.
