This year profile:
BUT Challenge proves that you can create really difficult competition outside the Alps, not only monsterous distance and elevation are important here. When you attempting the race you will be mainly alone during 3 days and nights. Weather can be unpredictable - it can be more than 15 C first day and at the end of the race there could be snowing !
When you sum this up it's explain why co many experienced runners resign in the middle od track.
Up to date there is handsome people who completed whole race in time limit.
