Julai Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc is the ultimate runners' challenge: 103 miles and nine peaks in 46 hours. Duncan Craig overcame sleep deprivation, altitude sickness and cartoon hallucinations to complete the course. More than 1,000 others failed Mass appeal: It’s standing room only as the 2,600 runners converge on the centre of Chamonix for the countdown Under orders: Apprehension and excitement as the runners prepare for the starting gun Early lead: A lone runner, with the dramatic peaks of the Mont-Blanc Massif beyond Valley of death: Runners navigate some brutal terrain 50 miles in At one with nature: The course takes runners into areas inhospitable to all but the hardiest animals Sloping off: Cal (middle) pauses during a vicious descent Painfully beautiful: A runner summits the final peak with Chamonix visible in the valley below Pround moment: Blake (left) and Duncan at the finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
