@@runningforviews you mean the second real aid station ;) www.sierre-zinal.com/en/stations-387.html and yes this year the race was quite special here in Zinal.
@@runningforviewsyeah that race brought back fond memories…10 yrs ago this month I raced Trofeo Kima and being a runner from Australia which is basically void of ‘real’ mountains it was the highlight of my running life, I ran in the same race as many legendary runners and bagged 19th… sorry to boast but I’m just a surfer from Oz so I was stoked to say the least. Please cover that race to- it’s the jewel in the crown of skyrunning. Cheers
@@clarkemcclymont2879 wow I’ve never heard of that race but it looks incredible! Looks like Kilian set the course record here back in 2018. Congrats to you! Sounds like you should have stuck with the Skyrunning!
@@runningforviewsyeah check it out- it’s the ultimate sky run, maybe you could do an episode on it, it’s extreme to say the least… the first climb starts at 900m and climbs to 3000m then seven mountain passes, helmets are optional-true.
@@runningforviewsYOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT THIS WAS HIS FIRST TIME FOR JIM IN THIS RACE WITH KILIAN. BUT JIM HAS THE RECORD FOR UTMB SINCE HE MOVED TO FRANCE WITH 19:37:43
@@varguita73 true! But I think kilians downhill speed might be able to hold off Jim but I guess we’ll have to wait and see if they race it together again some day!
What did you guys think of the race? Best race to ever happen? Or not? Let me know! Thanks for watching!
Best race i have ever seen....
@@konstruktivismuskonstru9360 so true! They were giving it their all

I WOULD LIKE SEE JIM WALMSLEY AND KILIAN JORNET IN THIS RACE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHO COULD BE FASTER?
@@varguita73 when Kilian got the course record in 2019 Jim was there! Jim just doesn’t have the downhill speed that Kilian has

The finish was insane although that stupid fluffy mascot nearly ruined the finish by getting in the way.
@@clarkemcclymont2879 haha I saw that! Kilian was about to knock him out! lol
