UTMB Ultra-Trail Snowdonia 100k For The Love!!

A feast of technical trails through mythical landscapes, UTS is part of the UTMB® World Series - ‘Beautiful beyond belief. Savage beyond reason’…
Just like to firstly thank all the volunteers for there energy and support throught the event and showing how much they do this for the love of it.
secondly i'd like to thank all the runners who ive contacted for voice notes. you all have been fantastic and
I feel very humbled having heard all your stories and hope the end credits show how much love is involved in this event for both the runners and staff.
I absolutely loved this event and see why its regarded as probably the hardest trail event in the uk and on the UTMB World series.
Although my shoes fell apart due to how savage the terrain its part of how things can play out and i have to take every race as experience and grown and learn from it.
If Hoka reads or see's the video and wants to shout me another pair of hoka speedgoats that would be amazing.
See you next year.

Great video matey and wow I am not surprised your shoe gave in! The 100k course is so rugged! Recommended watch for anyone considering the 100k in the years to come!

[@outinthesun]

Cheers dude. Definitely a rethink on what to wear that could handle the course.

Incredible vid mate, my quads were aching watching that

[@outinthesun]

Cheers dude. Some massive incline and declines on that route.

[@grahamclayton5222]

Cracking video. Memories come flooding back. Will be back next year for another go.

[@outinthesun]

I'm pretty sure I will be too

[@LukeCarolus-de8ud]

Great video man, keep it up!

[@outinthesun]

Cool. Many thanks

[@CandysArt82]

Great job on this one, we just need to shape your feet into mountain🐐 hooves!!!

[@outinthesun]

Be handy

[@plyxtpb]

Didn’t realise your trainers were quite as bad as that! Great video. 👍🏼

[@outinthesun]

Wasn't the Finnish I was expecting. Especially when I quit like that brand. Just goes to show how rugged the terrain is and how careful you need to be in what to wear.

[@outinthesun]

The problem I have now is the new skin is so new and tender.

[@CarpetDrivewayCleanz]

Good skills

[@outinthesun]

One love

When you said you'd had blisters, you didn't say your trainers had given up the ghost! No wonder you had blisters with the state of them - Do you need to try another brand, those Hokas looked super-trashed? I'll be having a spare pair in my support crew box for my 54-miler in 2 weeks and I might have to stash some gaffer tape and zip-ties in my race vest, just in case that happens to me.

[@outinthesun]

So I had a spare pair in my drop bag. But as you could see I just fell short. Also a key tip is to carry talc socks and regularly change them. I also recently bought a pair of Solomon speed cross 6 and completed Jurassic coast challenge 100k in them the week after on trashed feet. Still recovering from both races.
