Reports and event feedback

  • Steph_tri41 — 2018 Ultra mountain experience ↗

    Steph_tri41 / public Runagora member · 2018

    Calls the mountain course beautiful and demanding, describing snow, lakes and changing temperatures. Criticizes limited nearby accommodation and sparse refreshments.

    Only the explicit 2018 Ultra card is assigned to this historical venue and supplies the individual 5/5 overall. The second Beast card has no raced year and remains held for a precise edition/property join. Reported fifty-three kilometres, sixty obstacles and 2,700 metres ascent are the writer’s recollections. Personal funding, exact raced day and clean finish are unverified. It does not assess the relocated central Encamp course.

  • Jérémy Raboeuf — a demanding 2018 Ultra at Grau Roig ↗

    Jérémy Raboeuf / obstacle.fr · 2018

    Praises the mountain setting and mutual support while describing a punishing course, fatigue and difficult carries. After finishing, he says he would not immediately repeat an Ultra with so much ascent.

    Complete original first-person account, published 21 June 2018. Nominal fifty-plus kilometres differs from personal route observations; it describes three loops and repeated sections despite advance promotion of a non-repeating route. The briefing’s thirty-two-kilometre transition and the writer’s observed thirty-six-kilometre transition also differ. Partner labeling and a planned shoe review are visible; entry funding is unstated. The claimed twelve-hour finish and briefing completion-rate claim are unverified. No numerical overall, medical instruction or equipment prescription is imported.

  • KRALUPÁK — 2017 Open Beast at the older mountain venue ↗

    kralupak / site byline; individual identity unverified · 2017

    Loves the mountain scenery, snow and course variety but finds the village facilities, food queue and obstacle novelty disappointing. Praises a playful start atmosphere while criticizing perceived penalty compliance by others.

    Complete original Czech first-person account posted 26 December 2017. It explicitly enters Open outside the European Championship competition and estimates about twenty-two kilometres/1,300 metres ascent. The writer’s claimed placing and penalty-free finish are unverified. The account distinguishes registration in Encamp from the race at Grau Roig. One companion’s Sprint outing is not a second independent review. Funding is unstated; medical, transport, equipment and later via-ferrata recommendations are not adopted.

  • The municipality’s 6 June 2026 history explicitly says the event began at Grau Roig in 2016 and moved to central Encamp in 2020. This historical mountain venue stays separate from the current Encamp listing and its 2027 programme. The relocation chronology is the municipality’s statement, not a claim that a 2020 race necessarily took place.
  • Only Steph_tri41’s explicitly labeled 2018 Ultra card supplies the displayed 5/5, from one individual overall. Its reported 53 kilometres, sixty obstacles and 2,700 metres ascent are personal descriptions, not certified measurements. The page-wide 4.5/5 from two ratings is excluded because the second Beast card’s raced year and exact historical property are unresolved.
  • The May 2018 programme advertises 16–17 June and nominal fifty kilometres/sixty obstacles. Jérémy Raboeuf describes three loops, repeated sections and obstacles, despite advance promotion of a route without repetition. His observed transition location also differs from the briefing description. No unchanged route, personal exact day or audited finish is asserted.
  • The 2017 Czech account describes Open Beast at Grau Roig; the writer was not competing for the European Championship title. Encamp registration and accommodation addresses in that account are not the mountain start. No current or future race at Grau Roig is verified.
