This was Beast of Big Creek 2026!
Watch the recap video of the return of skyrunning to the USA and North America's only stop on the Skyrunner World Series.
Just posted on his Instagram, still awaiting official verification:
It’s a route I’d been dreaming of for years. Fourteen peaks at over 14,000 feet, a wild south-to-north traverse of this area of Colorado without markers or respite. It was a raw adventure, shared with a great team. And now, a new reference time: 35:33’41.
François D’Haene beat the previous record by over 3.5 hrs. Clearly he’s fit again and ready for UTMB later this summer.
