100 Miles of Brutal Beauty // Snowdonia by UTMB

[@tiptopmagoo7185]

Man there's some subs out there making ultra ,trail and running content got 0ver 100k subs and their stuffs got nothing on the vids you make honestly you should have 200k subs by now . Keep making these vids man they are quality i really appreciate the effort you put in, cheers mate

[@MarcusKjellberg]

Thanks a lot. Im close to 5k now 😁

[@philbattley8776]

Marcus does the best race films, full stop. Such a great feel to them. 👍 Come and do one in New Zealand some time!

[@MarcusKjellberg]

Thanks 🙏 I would love to go to NZ some time and run 👍

[@JohnMcArthur-qj2lu]

29:33 "...I have no idea why I'm doing this...." And so it it for all 100 milers. And yet we push through, get them done and then sign up for another without answering 'why?'. Love all of your videos Marcus. You capture the spirit of these races so well. I always want to film my runs but in the pit of despair I'm always too fucked to care. I did the 100km and was at the finish line when you crossed but missed you. Next time brother and well done again.

[@MarcusKjellberg]

Thanks 🤩 Next time 💪

[@jozetrselic]

The barefoot guy is a very special character and is an elite runner when he decides to put his shoes on. He has won absolute 100M Julian Alps by UTMB last year

[@MarcusKjellberg]

I met Ivi again at Lavaredo last weekend. Had the chance to talk to him some more. Indeed a very interesting character and likable guy.

[@martinweston8147]

Awesome, I was volunteering on the DNF bus Friday & Saturday night and spotted you at the CP early hours of Sunday morning you looked good so I knew you would finish, but guy 276 I was worried about him on Saturday and Sunday when I saw him at around 2-3am each time he looked like death I have no idea how he finished, awesome.

[@MarcusKjellberg]

I thought the same about 276. He looked in bad shape already Saturday. Amazing that he finished

[@mogendieAbenteuerbeginnen]

An excellent video. It made me homesick….I used to ride my bike around that area as a teenager….A great effort. Very well done….and enjoy the Ring of Fire in my home county! 👍🍷

[@MarcusKjellberg]

Beautiful 🤩

[@pmkeith]

Thank you for the video, Markus. My son Nick ran the race and finished 34th. I was quite worried about him running at night in the mountains. Because we were following him we had a good idea how tough the race was. But all of your video coverage was "icing on the cake". Brilliant stuff, and well done for completing. Most didn't!

[@MarcusKjellberg]

Thanks 🤩 and well done Nick

[@martin_trailandrun]

Getting goosebumps watching this. I was toasted at 100k. Would never been able to do the 100 miler. Kudos!

[@MarcusKjellberg]

It was great all the way 👌

Another brilliant film from a really hard ultrarace. I thought the footage looked beautiful. Excellent colours from this 360 camera. And a massive applause for finishing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@sarjannarwan6896]

I managed to get just over 80k before missing the cutoff for the 100k race. I have no clue how I managed to keep going. The terrain was insane, especially with some of the steep downhills and watkins path up Snowdon where there was a bunch of loose rock. Felt like an adventure. Congratulations on the 100 miler, hopefully I can get this done later.

[@MarcusKjellberg]

Thanks 🙏

[@tomvandermeer9125]

Thank you Marcus! Again a beautiful movie capturing the essence of trailrunning for midpackers. The course looks indeed beautiful but brutally technical. Good luck at Lavaredo. Ive done the 50k and it was one of the most beautiful races I did. I'm sure you will love it!

[@MarcusKjellberg]

Thanks 🙏 I look forward to Lavaredo now

[@jozetrselic]

Such a tranquil film. Thank you for sharing your experience. I can't imagine additional challenges you have to overcome in addition to the usual ultra grind because of diabetes. You are an inspiration 🙏

Hey Marcus, thanks for this excellent video. I ran the 100k this year, and really enjoyed re-living various sections from watching this. I have seen a few videos from UTS now, and definitely prefer yours. Great editing, commentary, and overall vibe. Congratulations on finishing the 100 mile course. It's a beast!

Strong finish Marcus! Looks brutal that race and beautiful. I was following your dot all the way! Hard job that as well!😂 I will be going back to Val´daran for some more heat and thunder. Or hopefully not. And then UTMB. Will follow your race in Lavaredo and can’t wait for the movie to come out. Have a good race! If not before, see you at Kullamannen!

He did get his tracker back at the next aid station and finished the race. Met him at Lavaredo again and he told me that he was carrying the mandatory shoes in the bag. The rules does not say that you have to use them 😁

Great film Marcus 😊me and my husband find your vlogs brilliant 🤩 We did the 25k, was hoping to catch sight of you and say ‘hello’ Congratulations on finishing one of the toughest races out there! To live with T1 DM is challenging but to take on ultra running is absolutely amazing and it shows that other people living with this condition do not have to be restricted!! Well done, can’t wait to see what you do next!

My girlfriend and me did it in almost 40hours. Toughest race of our lifes for sure. Congrats! The section between the Cnicht and Gwastadannas was the toughest for us... perhaps because we didn't expect more bogs. That said is a super beautiful race that will push you to the limits.

Crazy sh*t this is! Massive congrats. This is the first year I am not racing it. Short note: the first UTS was already 6 years ago, it is the third year under the UTMB conglomerate (and I can tell you from first hand experience that the first couple editions were extremely savage).

[@MarcusKjellberg]

I was misinformed then. I can not imagine how savage this would be with rain and cold weather. We were lucky this year

[@scottmacdonald5813]

Well done Marcus, fantastic video as always. I was looking out for you at the start but wasn’t looking at the front 😂 I finished the 55k, was too hot for me not sure how everyone managed 100miles in that heat. Congrats again!

[@IndianHack-c6f]

Great video, how does this compare to ROF Anglesey?

[@MarcusKjellberg]

The Snowdonia is a different kind of a beast. 100 miles in one go took us 44 hours without any sleep or any stop. Also it is much walking up and down while RoF is runnable the whole way. Very different experiences and two great adventures.

[@ericlorphevre4167]

Love your videos Marcus! This one pushed me to register to the 100k next year. In your experience, how does the terrain compare to Val d’Aran races? Should I prepare to something even more technical?

[@MarcusKjellberg]

I think it is slightly more technical. At least the 100 miles. However, it is difficult to prepare for scrambling etc. You will be fine 💪

[@stormense]

Must try to write in English. Always in the lead after the start. Sometimes I wonder how you manage all the ultras. And holding onto a stick while climbing was probably not easy. But you fight and keep going. Saw it was a long movie before I watched but time went by fast. So then it was probably good, it was good, congratulations on a successful run and interesting film.

[@MarcusKjellberg]

thanks a lot - it is difficult to cut a lot of footage and still it is almost an hour

[@stormense]

@@MarcusKjellberg You could have made two films. This and a slow realax video of 2 hours with calm music and wonderful views😉. You used a 360 camera and then it is a lot of extra work to express with the best angle, reframing. Don't know if you cut in Insta's own editor, which it is now possible to put together several clips with, or another program. It's more work with 360 videos so fast work Marcus!
