Florent Bouguin is presenting the first step of the 50 miles The North Face Endurance Challenge Series (Bear Mountains, NY).

“My goal of spring fasts approaching: the 80km North Face Endurance Challenge in Bear Mountains. I want! It has been over 4 months since I did not put shorts or run on non-snowy trails! That will make me feel funny.
Several big names of the North American trail community and good runners from Quebec and USAs are announced. This is very exciting.
This race is very skilled technique. The drop is not very important (2300m) but the quality of trails makes this a very difficult race. It seems that the scenery is beautiful.
You can follow the race directly on FaceBook and Twitter.
We keep in touch”
