Words from those who lived it:
Giovanna Martins – 108km Champion (2025) | Three-time Champion
“What moved me the most was the human warmth. From the very start, it was hard to hold back the emotion. The energy of the community is so powerful that even the climbs feel lighter than they truly are.
It’s the raw beauty of nature that drives me. Watching the sun rise over the mountains. Running through the wild forest at night. This is the kind of challenge that fills your soul and your heart.
We were born to be challenged. And facing Mother Nature is the greatest challenge of all.”
