TORX® with Kailas among the 100 most iconic ultramarathons in the world in the
book Ultra: The World Atlas of Ultramarathons
TORX® with Kailas, with its epic character and uniqueness, earns its place in the pages of Ultra: The World Atlas of Ultramarathons, the new publication by Jen and Sim Benson, which features 100 of the most fascinating and demanding ultramarathons on the planet.
An illustrated atlas to discover, run (or dream about) the most captivating races on theinternational scene.
The book offers a global overview of the ultra world: from the sands of the Marathon des
Sables to the ice of Antarctica, through the dizzying trails of the Himalayas, Scottish Highlands, and, of course, the Alte Vie of the Aosta Valley.
Among them, TORX® with Kailas is described as one of the toughest and most engaging endurance challenges in the world: a loop journey through the heart of the Alps, with exhausting elevation changes, wild landscapes, and an identity deeply rooted in the culture of the Aosta Valley. The authors highlight not only the technical aspects of the race but also the natural setting, tradition, and involvement of local communities — elements that make TORX® with Kailas an iconic and profoundly authentic event.
Jen and Sim Benson, British authors and trail runners, are known for their experiential approach to outdoor adventure. In addition to contributing articles to publications such as The Guardian, Trail Running Magazine, and Country Walking, they have written numerous guides and atlases combining sports, exploration, and sustainability.
The book is intended for both athletes seeking inspiration and enthusiasts of travel, geography, and stories of resilience. It is available on Amazon starting August 28.
