race RD Lizzy Hakwer says, "with wild spaces, numerous 4000m mountains in every direction, and non-busy trails - this is where I chose to train for UTMB and other races. This is the format I trained in - going around Monte Rosa in two long back-to-back days, staying with my friends in villages and refugios along the way. It's a tough trail, high and technical in many places - and prior mountain running experiences is needed - but so beautiful.
While I was running these trails I thought "this is the race I would really like to run". It didn't exist so we have created it for you to enjoy. The full route is tougher than UTMB. As a one-stage race it is a serious challenge - brutal, beautiful and brilliant.
Come and try it!!
