Tour Du Mont Blanc

Tour Du Mont Blanc

"I feel a constant need for exploration, I can’t sit still. As soon as I finish one thing, I’m on to the next." - Matthew Fairbrother

It started as all good adventures do. A silly question, wondering whether it would be faster to run or bike around the iconic Tour Du Mont Blanc route. Passing through 3 different countries and spanning a grueling 160km and 8000m of elevation, this was undoubtedly one of Matthew Fairbrother's biggest challenges to date. The time to beat, 19 hours 49 minutes and 32 seconds, set by ultra runner Kilian Jornet.

Kicking things off in the picturesque mountain town of Chamonix, the challenge was set! Produced by Deviate Cycles, watch the challenge unfold below.
