Sieben Marathons in sieben Tagen quer durch Lesotho

Im Oktober 2021 laufen die vier Mitglieder des ASICS Frontrunner*innen Teams  über die Trails quer durch Lesotho in Südafrika. Insgesamt 250 km. Während dieser Reise entsteht in Zusammenarbeit mit Iconic Agency der Dokumentarfilm „Uplifting Trails Border to Border Lesotho„, der heute Abend veröffentlicht wird.

On October 10th 2021, four ASICS FrontRunner members and their local guide reached the end of a seven-day challenge: Running from one border of Lesotho to the other. From tears to joyous celebrations, the film showcases all emotions that come with running a marathon a day for seven days straight, an unbreakable bond between runners and the uplifting power that trail running has on the body and mind. Four ASICS FrontRunner members from the UK, Norway and South Africa, teamed up with local Olympian Tstotang Maine to navigate the trails of Lesotho, a small country embedded in South Africa that is known for its high elevation and challenging terrain. Setting off from the capital Maseru, they covered a total of 250 kilometers, putting their physical and mental endurance to the test. 

“The Uplifting Trails Lesotho expedition was the most rewarding and thought-provoking expedition of my life”, reflects Edward Clarkson, ASICS FrontRunner member from the UK, on his experience. “The team experienced incredible highs, unimaginable lows, and a huge sense of pride when completing the border to border expedition.” The ‘Uplifting Trails Border to Border Lesotho’ documentary has been produced in collaboration with Iconic Agency. It’s the brand’s fourth documentary following members of their running community on a border-to-border journey and is available online as of February 1st.
