UTWT Reviews : UTWT 2019 Episode 2
Second Episode of our series following the 2019 Edition of the Ultra Trail World Tour. This episode is entirely dedicated to the Transgrancanaria, the first meeting of the season featuring Europe’s finests. A spanish armada lead by last year’s champion Pau Capell is fighting against some serious contestants such as Hayden Hawks or some good Chinese runners on a very technical 125 km course crossing the Island from north to south with 7000 m of positive elevation to finish in less than 29 hours. The women’s podium is rather open behind the great favourite Magdalena Laczak.

The Frozen Road – The Film
Self-shot and edited whilst cycling around the world, this film charts Ben Page’s winter journey into the Canadian Arctic as he completed his bike ride up the American continent. Compelled by Jack London’s assertion, that ‘any man who is a man can travel alone’, he sought an adventure of perfect solitude. ‘The Frozen Road’ is an honest reflection on his solo trip; of the wonder, terror and frustration he experienced when riding through the unforgiving emptiness of one of the world’s ‘last great wildernesses’.
