This video chronicles my running of the inaugural Puerto Vallarta Mexico by UTMB Hikuri 100K ultramarathon. This event also features 10K, 20K, 50K and 100 Mile events through race weekend. This year, this first time event coincided with preparations for the Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations. This race is one of only four North American UTMB races that award "running stones", which are required to enter the lottery for the famous Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc races in Chamonix, France. Since this was a first time event, I wanted to make sure to share as much of our experience at this event as possible and the race did not disappoint. Heat, humidity, mountains, jungle, gnarly terrain and steep climbs and descents, this race had it ll and a lot of it.
