When the UTMB is just a little too short…
Carnethies Olly Stephenson, Mick James and Jason Hubert are now well into the 300km, 26000m ascent PTL. This is a week long team ‘race’ around the Mont Blanc region. You can see the full description here, but you know its going to be a bit of a monster.
At the moment Team Carnethy is sitting in 4th place out of about 100 starters and look to be on schedule (Wednesday morning). There’s a long way to go, and the conditions are bad (high wind and rain) leading to course re-routings. You can track them on utmb.livetrail.net – choose race PTL, then Following and then Table of Passages.
