At the end of June 2017, shortly before the sun peeked over the mountains of Tahoe National Park in California, Ryan Sandes and 368 other runners from around the world gathered at the base of a snow-covered mountain to begin the Western States 100 Endurance Run. South African ultramarathon star Ryan Sandes has earned the prestigious honour of winning all four of the 4Deserts events.

As a South African who loves sport, I'm sad that I've never heard about this guy... Amazing performance

[@janswart2705]

Stefan, considering how he became a runner, his story is crazier still. In a nutshell: he entered the Knysna marathon on a whim (sort of in reply to a dare by a friend) and discovered that running came easy. I know it's a totally different ball game, but would like to see him at Comrades or the Washie one day

[@stefanvermeulen6161]

@@janswart2705 That's absurd! Yeah, don't think he'll win it easily and also, I think road running is way too boring for him lol

Glad to see big brands endorse Ultra running. Only a matter of time before it's mainstream and an Olympic event.

beautiful footage, thanks redbull

[@x3i4n]

What it takes to win that race is to never drink any redbull for this kind of sport. LOL

[@bartborghuis2996]

I ran some of my best races on Red Bull.

[@owenmarshall2599]

x3i4n probably not horrible for ultras because your cardiovascular isn’t as exhausted as your muscles, but yes horrible for marathons and anything under😂😂

[@christopherbonilla1963]

Red Bull has plenty of simple sugar and caffeine, exactly what you need during these races..

[@jsimo1431]

that's badass

[@kirasussane1556]

I can't even imagining running 10k let alone 100 Miles Is beyond my understanding how anyone can do this Ultra marathons runners fascinate me there is just mind blowing

[@redbull]

Discipline, perseverance, and a ton of willpower we say! 💪

[@aubreyjennings7135]

kira sussane it’s not as intimidating as you might think. Consider trying a long run. It will make you feel pretty confident.

[@mrnmrsv1]

The Barkley Marathons is by far the gnarliest race in the world

[@willsmith5559]

Cool

[@icaroraposo5103]

Let me hear thoughts/suggestions: how long my knee's vacation can be, after 883.5 miles in 18 months (before that, never ran) without serious conditioning loss? My knees are as worn as an old tractor's axles.

How is this not an Olympic sport?

how is this dude standing after 100 iles of running...fak man! incredible

[@prophetlama7554]

RedBull would use words like "gnarliest"

Have to disagree, the Barkley Marathons is by far and away the gnarliest race in the world.

[@justinofboulder]

I was thinking Hardrock, but yes Barkley for sure! Forgot about that one.....

[@nevinwebster6835]

Maybe most iconic race? No wait, that's UTMB.

[@jamesgem1809]

Who says

[@kfpaulo]

Agreed! UTMB race all the way

[@TerjeMathisen]

There's lots of candidates for this title, personally I would put both Barkley and UTMB before this one even though the fact that it was the first real Ultra does weigh in its favor. If you allow triathlon then Norseman here in Norway is pretty far up there as well.

This is so weird my favourite sports are cycling and running and Mark Cavendish (professional cyclist) had a ankle injury and glandular fever and this year I broke my ankle and had glandular fever and now you who's pretty much a professional runner has glandular fever and an ankle injury!
