The World LDMR Challenge 2009

As if a marathon on the flat is not enough...... In the course of the Tour de Tirol 2009, the Kaisermarathon was the location for the world long distance mountain running challenge (Wolrd LDMR Challenge). Iona was representing Scotland and came 14th overall! The Kaisermarathon was taking place for the 4th time and covers 42.195 km and gains over 2000 meters mainly through the Skiwelt Wilder Kaiser. The Course record holder is the 6 times mountain running world champion Jonathan Wyatt who absolved the course in 3h and 3 min. The womans bestlist is headed by the tyrolean triathlete Monika Feuersinger in 4h and 6 min. Not bad going for a burd ;-). Look forward to seeing the photos.
