Each of us focused with fortitude.

A hard continuous pounding for 68 km over 24 hours but with 50% less oxygen in our body and a huge depletion of energy physically, mentally and emotionally, it will be our preparation and training efforts that empower our mental, physical and spiritual ability to power forwards with every exhausted step, to never give up, to endure and stride strong when we feel weak for all that we believe in.

This is the moment we face ourselves and who we really are

Together we are STRONGER
