Note from our race director 🏃♂️
That’s a wrap on our first ever international FCT expedition and Albania certainly delivered in spades. It was a stunning yet grueling course that had even the hardiest of racers gritting their teeth on the final climb. 🗻
Big shout out to Connor Emeny & Innes Simpson for bringing half of Vancouver across to bolster spirits on the course and keep the laughs flowing long into the night. ❤️
Massive congratulations to Car for taking out the win in her maiden marathon, beating all the men as our only female competitor! 🏃🏽♀️🔥
We cannot thank our local team enough for helping us pull off the first single day ultra in these beautiful mountains but, most importantly, to all the Trailblazers who joined us on course and over the weekend. None of this could’ve happened without you so from the bottom of my heart, thank you 🫶🏽
Our tours go beyond just the race with our competitors cruising the dramatic Komani Lake, taking a freezing dip in The Blue Eye and dining in a local farmhouse near our Social Development Project in Lekbibaj. 5% of our tour price went towards stocking the medical centre in town so that the surrounding villages could be serviced by the mobile doctors.
With our FCT backyard ultra in Canada next month and very few spots left for Antarctica in February, the calendar is filling up quickly with unique destination race experiences for those in search of wonder.
Spots for The Peaks 27’, The Cook 27’ and The Iceberg 28’ will be dropping in the coming weeks.
Who’s ready to take on their next big challenge?….
