You don’t need to be a Suunto user, just download their Movescount app and hit the road or trail. Find out after a week how your country does. #VerticalWeek starts globally on Feb 15 and runs through the 21st. MovesCount.com

The host of Jingle Cross will line up the best in the world on Saturday, only a few days after the Wednesday night race in Las Vegas under the lights. JingleCross.com
