Karl Meltzer has been around trail and ultrarunning scene for over 20 years, achieving many successes on some of the most challenging races, including his six wins at the Wasatch Front 100 and four at the Hardrock 100. A true legend of ultrarunning.
Julien Chorier wins the Reunion Island Grand Raid, marking a nice comeback after his DNF at the 7th annual Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc. 29 year old runner dominated the race in 22:09:08, Ludovic Pommeret and Antoine Guillon completed the podium.
This is beginning to feel redundant, just two weeks after setting a course record at Wasatch 100, Geoff Roes completed the Bear 100 in 18:43:37 and set a new strong record, the 6th this season. That means a course record on each of the races courses he raced. Amazing.
