The last leg of the race was tough both mentally and physically. It might be a shorter distance in comparison to the other legs but today was a very tough climb and certainly challenged all competitors. They climbed to the top of Mount Illerfissalik. The mountain is 1,752 meters high!
They reached the top (an achievement in itself) then ran down to cross the finish line in Igaliku. After 5 days of tough conditions the gruelling race over. They did it !!
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO IAN AND GREG !!!
We don’t have official race result in as yet, will get these shortly.
Say tuned for more snippets and photos in the coming weeks.

CONGRATULATIONS !!
YOU ARE BOTH TRUELY AN INSPIRATION..
I CAN NOT SAY ANY MORE THAN WELL DONE AND YOU ARE AMAZING!
What an amazing achievement, congratulations. You've been on such a long journey over the past six months - one full of emotion but in itself one that will always be well remembered and truly rewarding - to complete this part of it would make the Mellish family, and your own friends and family extremely proud. Again, congratulations.
From someone who barely survives a hike around my local Coles.
I am truly impressed.
And you survived those bears too.
Amazing. Thank you.
