Three friends adventure across Nepal with the goal of trekking the classic Annapurna Circuit and the Thorong-La Pass at an altitude of 5,416m whilst stopping by for a visit with an old friend on the way.
The SwissPeaks 360k is a trail running race that travels more than 360 km (224 miles) across the Swiss Alps, climbing over 26,000 metres (87,000 feet). Runners have up to 160 hours to complete the race, refuelling at the 31 minor aid stations, with the option to sleep at any of the 6 major life bases along the way. My goal would be to finish in between roughly 100-120 hours, and to sleep around 6-7 hours over the 4 to 5 day period. This was my second race over 200 miles, and I swore to myself that I would never try to do it again.
I’m an ultra-distance trail runner based in Vancouver, BC. From the mountain ranges of Canada and the USA, to the Alps, the Andes, and the Himalayas, I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue adventures around the world.
This second video of our recent Kirtan Fest in Rishikesh, India shows the outstanding success of the two week program in introducing Krsna consciousness to a western audiance in that sacred abode. The combination of extended kirtans, workshops and first class prasadam melted the hearts of everyone who came.
