High mountains. They ran 24 hours non-stop on the trail: exhausted, they gave their all

Although they didn't make it for 24 hours, they did an amazing job. Romain Giacometti and Stephanie Muret, trail runners, set themselves a crazy challenge Saturday and Sunday in Gap. They had to climb and descend the Charance mountain day and night for 24 hours. After 19 hours of hard work, the first gave up after eight rounds. After 18 hours of racing fatigued, a hip problem, and "more clarity", the second quit. He had completed nine ascents/descents totalling 65 km and 5,145 metres of elevation. Romain Giacometti said, "We're very tired," two days after his adventure.

With the help of the runners and hikers who accompanied them, 120 climbs were recorded. This will increase Trail 2 Life's funding for the fight against cancer. The president of the association announced that approximately 1,000 euros will go to the Intercommunal Hospital Center in the Southern Alps and the same amount to Cancer Screening Sud Paca. Trail 2 Life should complete another check on the medical structures in 2022 with the assistance of its partners.
