Breaking 20 | The North Face

The Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc is one of the most grueling trail races in the world. After winning in 2019 with a course-record time of 20:19:07, team athlete and ultra runner Pau Capell had one mission in mind: run the 106-mile trail in under 20 hours.

"next year I will come....I will try to break the record again, if not, I will come again" - what legends are made of

[@atlantatrailrunners9852]

yes, it's inspiring!

[@Matt-mi5uz]

The fact he can keep his air pods in while running for 20 hours deserves a place in the record books, too. Can't keep mine in 3 minutes.

[@jameslamar1028]

lmao

[@Schneidinator]

Only 10 minutes? Come on, we need more... Beautiful though!

[@mokefish8126]

Everyone has quads. Pau has KWAAAAADS.

[@TheJournalofLostTime]

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the jolt of serotonin.

Fantastic next time is the time, never give up. Behind every failed goal are a mountain of lessons learned.

[@ritesisright]

You inspire many 🙏👍

What a great video

[@SkarKingg]

NF always makes cinematic quality videos

[@jeevan8666]

Covid 19 was really disappointed to us but UTMB won't just let it happen, many runners got opportunitie finding their adventure like Pau did even i was able to finished my 100k CCC in my own backyard. Really inspiration Pau capell 🙏

[@timbulger1398]

It is my dream to work on films like this for The North Face. That's all I want.

Go and do it Tim Bulger

YEPA! PAU!

[@johanlarsson7375]

Wow!

[@SeeChadRun]

Very nice film!

[@pracaprac7978]

Super Hero :)

[@laurenbaxter2182]

Is that first clip of him running in Mont Blanc as well?? 0:33

[@psychedeliccheese]

I am curious what the record is for a Solo attempt? Good job to this guy though, he was blasting down that trail.

[@alancampbell6236]

When I started running, there were no computers! 😉

[@mioa2007]

Y qué tiempo hizo?

[@NeillyVille]

I wonder what time Pau will run on a Half or Full Marathon road race?

[@vittoriorubensdamoli]

“I’m fortunate”

[@mrtrash5873]

Weird you didn't mention Francois D'Haene who finished UTMB in 19h01mn and Killian Jornet who also finished sub 20

[@ecache1]

Those were not the complete race lengths

[@TrailTriumph]

That was 167km. 2018 onwards is 171km

[@number1chargersfan]

I mean the dude ran around the largest mountain in the alps in 21 hours when he was like idk about this.....then said fuck it last minute....lol mad respect though I couldn't imagine taking on a challenge like this

[@cidadapupdate]

hello i'm from indonesia. Have a nice day.

[@thibaulddeffontaines6479]

they should have named it the north face 19.59 it usually gives better result ^^

[@ChewieTomatoes1]

There’s a lot of irony in this video...race gets cancelled due to health concerns. Then mega star North Face athlete runs it anyways with a large crowd greeting him at the end. Lmao.

[@NoNo-sr6qx]

Sans dopage il va moins vite forcément

[@stephaniewilson2771]

That's a rather large support crew and some large crowds for a guy running "alone" during a pandemic.

[@SkarKingg]

Forest Gump just broke the record

[@maxmay5119]

Pau, why don't you carry poles through the whole course of the race, and don't you have all the mandatory equipment in the west? Is it fair to compare this attempt to a race conditions when you need to cary quite a bit more through the race.

[@zhorakovsky]

The guy ran for 20 hours - and all you could manage was 5 min of footage?

[@mattdavenport7596]

9 mins 50

[@zhorakovsky]

The rest was people talking. Not running.

[@mattdavenport7596]

@@zhorakovsky still footage

[@txx700]

he would have easily broken 20 if he didn't celebrate before he finished the race.

[@julien7705]

breaking 20 hours in not a record, Francois and Killian did 19 hours already. I don't understand why...

[@cherries4life387]

Nobody's run sub 20 for the whole length of the course (170km). Pau's 2019 UTMB was a record for the full length at 20:19

[@julien7705]

@@cherries4life387 Francois d Haene won in 2017 the utmb 168km in 19h01mins so trust me he easily runs 2km in addition under 20 hours total 😇

[@cherries4life387]

@@julien7705 apparently the quoted 167/168km is wrong and it was 5km+ less. But yeh you’re right that that year he probably would’ve gone sub 20, but that doesn’t mean it’s official. So Pau’s got the record and looking for an official sub 20

[@julien7705]

@@cherries4life387 officially you’re right! Could be great if he can do that during the race if the whole distance is there 🙂

All of your products are made from petroleum yet you won't add an oil companies logo to a jacket? Are you aware of the blatant hypocrisy of this virtue signaling?
