The deciding round will take place at the inaugural Annapurna Trail Marathon in the Mardi Himal region of Nepal. With only 200 competitors invited to this fearsome event, the runners will face 3560 metres of ascent in the course of the race. The views, though, will be unmatched.
This programme looks back at the 2018 Salomon Golden Trail series, dropping in at the most amazing mountain races in the world, where the world’s best trail-runners experience local culture and are challenged by spectacular landscapes.
