- Wang Chan 50km Ultra Marathon in the middle of April in Thailand may have been a bit of an error. It was easily the hardest race i've ever done and it wasn't even close. The temperature was above 40 degrees. Nearly 2000m of elevation. 51km of technical trail. I'm just happy I finished because it wasn't always a certainty....

I can't even comprehend running in 40 degree heat, let alone a 50k ultra!
Cobra!! Well done Ben👍👍Congrats!!
Incredible 👏👏👏
Great job guys!
Did a race recently the same distanfde but with less elevation and less that half those degrees centigrade and it was tough so can only imagine what this was like! Super running and well done for slogging it out 😅
Oh my the heat 🥵 its a deffinute no go for me. But somehow you made it look 👀 easy Ben. Indredible 🏃🏼♀️ run. Have a lovely race rest both of you. An amazing start to the year. You both crushed it 🏆🏆
Wow that heat!!! Congrats to you all for living through it!
You guys have earned your April break. You certainly suffered for your passion. Well done
Bloody hell Ben. That looked a but tough. Excellent effort. 💪💪👊
Wow well done Ben! I can't imagine doing that course in that heat! And Congratulations to Mary as well!
After doing a 100k ultra last year there is just something mega about them!
Amazing effort!!
Congratulations!
The heat!! The hills!! And the distance just make it all so tough. Huge respect for getting through that. I don’t know what’s going on though with a distinct lack of bal-car-ny chat!! 🤣🤣 Well done Ben, enjoy some rest now 😊😊
Great job Ben! I can’t imagine doing that and not dying! Mary rocks!
Two weeks ago I did the Noosa 80km Ultra Trail. 50km in I got bad nausea. But I just pushed on for 30kms until I crossed the finish line. Noosa is sub tropical and normally cooler than my town where I live, but midday sun and recent rain meant high heat (30c and 80% rh). It’s amazing what you can achieve when you are determined.
Awesome video, you’re a better man then me as I’d be PISSED for getting 11th. Enjoy your downtime from racing.
Great effort , the heat is a killer.
Nice run. Bask in the torture. Makes monsters.
I live in Miami, FL and the heat is overwhelming (especially as I get older). Can't imaging going that long in over 100 degrees (F). Great respect.
