Christo places 16th at 4Peaks


While Francois was riding Rhodes, Christo was running over the mountains that make up the challenging Thule 4Peaks trail run in the Free State.

"Thule 4Peaks is certainly one of the most underrated and best oganised trailrunning events in the country," says Christo. The route includes very steep climbs, extremely technical running, breathtaking nature and friendly marshals - even at the highest checkpoint. which sits at over 2300m. Christo was also impressed with sponsor representation at the event; sponsor branding decorated the event area and added to the festive atmosphere.

"Some of the technical sections got the better of me and I could still feel a bit of The Otter in my legs (and feet). But, in the end, it was a truly rewarding experience and great weekend with friends," he adds. Christo finished in a time of 3h35 to place 16th overall.

"My thanks to Adrian Saffy and Mike de Haast, from Pure Adventures for a super event!"
