• Comments: This was the hardest thing I've ever done, by far. But also the most incredible experience of my life so far. I would definity recommend this race to anyone interested in ultramarathons. In only 7 years, the Ultratrail du Mont Blanc has become the most important mountain race in the world. There's a 98km version and a 166km one as well; the latter is considered the "big leagues". We qualified for the 100-mile version next year, so we'll be there again in 2010 and will definitely be better prepared.
