In the heart of the Beskid Mountains lies a distinctive mountain trail called The Loop. The route is a demanding 235-kilometer loop with 11,500 meters of elevation gain. In October 2024, I set out to attempt to set a new unsupported trail record. Passion, determination, solitude. Ultra running is a real challenge. Tired, cold, and alone in the middle of the forest day and night, we discover what we’re truly made of, whether we give up, when we give up, and how much we can endure.
