UTMB - cheering them on.

So glad to be here for this prestigious race. It starts in Chamonix, follows the route of the Tour du Mont Blanc through France, Italy and Switzerland and is 171 kilometres long. It is regarded as one of the most difficult running races in the world with over 2,000 starters. The best runners complete the loop in 20 hours, non stop running through the night but most runners take 32 to 46 hours. A true ordeal.
The main photo shows Katie Schide completing the course in 25th position in 23hours. What an amazing accomplishment. We saw her starting off last night.
An army of supporters keep them watered and fed on route.
