Arlberg-Kandahar

The Arlberg-Kandahar race (often abbreviated A-K or AK) is an annual alpine skiing event. The first edition of the race was held in 1928 in St. Anton, in the Arlberg district of Austria. The location originally alternated between St. Anton and Mürren, Switzerland.[1] Later, it began to be held in other locations as well, such as Chamonix, France,[2] Sestriere, Italy, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.[3]
