Even bigger turnout this year. Despite the white-out last year, Fellix, Angus (Forbes), Hal, David and Jack come back for more. And this year Achim joins us as well. The Graham’s are strongly represented by Angus, Hamish, Isi + James, and (for the first time) Ameli.

Angus (F.) plays it smart this year and holds back with his registration until he has enough confidence in the weather forecast. It works - perfect sunshine, great snow and during the event even a friendly tail-wind. Everyone gets great times and Hal achieved an amazing 2:20 in his second ever full marathon.

It’s not all about the skiing though. Ruthie and Angus treat us to the most wonderful meals, first in Scuol and for the final race prep on the Saturday in their lovely place in Tschlin.
