Official Result

Matt Burgin 53.59.20


La Diagonale des Fous, Reunion Island (near Mauritius)

172K with total climb of 9996metres (32,487feet)

Tough event to crack - plenty of technical descents and some hideous climbs.  This is tougher than UTMB (MontBlanc).

Thoroughly recommended but I suggest completing other good Ultras beforehand (i.e. those that carry UTMB points). Although not a race requirement, I suggest you hold at least 8 UTMB points before attempting this your mental state really needs to be ready for it!

Finish position was 656/2306. 

The race had a drop-out rate of 50.3%, one of the highest rates.
