    Deux cadors du trail remportent le MIUT 2024 à Madère (Portugal)

    DISTANCES+ à Madère — L’Ultra-Trail de l’île de Madère (MIUT) est l’un des ultra-trails les plus populaires de la planète. L’épreuve reine de l’événement, un 115 km pour 7100 m de dénivelé, traverse l’île portugaise d’ouest en est, de Porto Moniz à Machico. Le MIUT est une course hyper exigeante marquée par une alternance incessante de montées terribles et de descentes impressionnantes et d’innombrables escaliers naturels. La 15e édition — la première au sein du nouveau circuit World Trail Majors — a sacré deux cadors du trail mondial, l’Américain Ben Dhiman et l’Italienne Martina Valmassoi fin avril 2024. Plus
