I felt the support from the people the whole time. It was spectacular,” said the 21-year-old, who finished in 01:56:19.

Second place was fiercely contested and ultimately went to Álvaro García Bernabeu (02:05:11), who finished just eight seconds ahead of Damian Ramis Pons (02:05:19). “As a Mallorcan, it’s an honor that the UTMB® Group has brought a race of this caliber to the island,” said the runner from Llubí.

It’s very important for the island to host a competition of this level,” said the runner from Pollença.
