The race is down to two men at Big's Backyard: Ihor Verys of Canada and Harvey Lewis of the U.S., since Poland's Bartosz Fudali has refused to continue. All three completed 103 yards, or more than 690 km–a new world record. May the best man win! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Canada’s Amanda Nelson is out of Big’s Backyard. Her legs collapsed after she crossed the line at the end of her 57th lap (382 km).
“I’ve never had my legs do that to me!” Nelson said. She’s now resting in her tent in good spirits. 🇨🇦
Amazing job Amanda!!
Amazing #UTMB stat I just looked up:
Ludovic Pommeret ran an hour faster today than the year he won (2016).
He’s 7 years older, ran significantly faster, and finished 4 spots lower.
This sport!
@aidstationfireb@runfreetrail Ha! Judging by the points separating you and 2nd, I wouldn't get too comfortable just yet. (Says someone who doesn't rank in the top 50 😞)
