This was Damian’s fourth consecutive completion of UTMB, a 105-mile ultramarathon in the French, Italian and Swiss Alps, and the best result by a British male since 2010. Summit Fever Media have made a film about his four-year quest to crack the top 10, called Underdog, which isn’t yet released but is available for review (for more information please email [email protected]). Damian is available for interview about UTMB and trail and ultra-running in general. Image Damian crossing the finishing line © Andy Jackson
