Review 2015
New record on the extreme distance
The 24 year old German Andreas Seewald from the Centurion Vaude Team set the records from the very beginning! Sometimes he was even 30 minutes ahead of the passing times scheduled by his own coaches. The timing stopped at 09:50:47, almost 3 minutes less than the last course record by Luis Leao Pinto (POR) in 2013.
Ondřej Fojtík (CZE), winner in 2012, was runner up with a time of 10:12:12. The Tyrolean Martin Ludwiczek came in third 27 minutes later.
