Salomon Trail Runner, Kilian Jornet, after struggling against the cruel heat, lack of sleep and painful limbs, pulverised the record for the GA20 non-stop in an astonishing 32 hours 54 minutes and 24 seconds.
Here is the latest inspirational video from the series
Records may fall, that’s their destiny, but Kilian’s epic exploit here has written another page in the illustrious history of the GR20 while establishing his credentials as a trail-running athlete.
And…… just to further his credentials Kilian’s went on to win the Vallnord SkyRace a mere 14 days later. If you thought the footage was incredible on the Corsica video this one will not disappoint, it even makes listening to Lilly Allen bearable! I’ve just had to pick my jaw up from the desk. Not only are these runners incredibly fit they are also incredibly brave.
