The Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) is an internationally renowned hiking trail, literally meaning a trek around the highest peak in the European Alps, Mont Blanc.

Despite classing myself as an ultramarathon runner, I have only pushed myself to 40 miles in races in the past, apart from looped races where I have completed 120kms in 24 hours. How hard could the Montane Spine series be?

The Speed Project or TSP for those in the know, is a relay running race from LA to Las Vegas covering 340 miles of rugged American landscape on foot. Branded as unsanctioned, unsupported with no rules and definitely no spectators, the route you choose to take is down to you with one condition: no freeways.
