Eiger ultra trail 2019

As the excitement of the lakeland trail race starts to ebb, it is replaced with this. Next week, I get to fly out to Switzerland with a couple of friends, to attempt the Eiger Ultra trail.

Oh. My. Word.


This trip has been months in the plotting and planning. I have wanted to see the Eiger for a long long time. Get to run there? You have got to be kidding, I cannot believe my luck.

This event looks so hard, to me, that I wasn't going to apply for it. But, dreams should be big. It is 100k with 6,700m overall elevation. That is an humungous amount of up.

Oh. My.

On the Ultra Trail World Tour series. It looks phenomenal, out of this world
