Trail: Ultra Trail Mont Fuji
We just came back from Japan where Anna did the STY (84.7 km and +4860 m) and I did the Ultra-trail of Mt. Fuji (UTMF) (161 km and +9165 m). We both enjoyed the races; very nice trail, nice scenery, perfect organization and good weather.

The UTMF (ULTRA-TRAIL Mt.FUJI) is a 161 km non-stop race around Mount Fuji in Japan. There are 10 food stations, 2 water stations with a time limit of 46 hours. Philippe finished in 29h45, 87th out of 830 men.

The STY (SHIZUOKA TO YAMANASHI) is the shorter version of 84.7 km with starts South of Mont Fuji and ends at Yagisaki-Kouen, like the UTMF. There are 10 food stations with a time limit of 24 hours. Anna finished in 15h12, 7th out of 109 women.
