Organized on December 6 by the Manikou club, the event was won by Thibault Kindermans in... 9h45mn. Of the 93 finishers, Nicolas Favreau (43) came a fine 49th. It was a great race, but very difficult," says the member of 4 Running Saint-Barth. The weather was kind, but this is my first experience of such a technical trail involving running or walking on very steep, slippery slopes on a tricky course with roots and rocks, ending with sections along the beach. I tried to finish without worrying about the time. "
