Manon Bohard Cailler secured second place in the 2025 Hardrock 100 after showcasing a consistent performance. She shared early miles with fellow runner Katharina Hartmuth but faced a significant challenge when she lost the ability to eat for the final 10 hours of the race. Manon expressed her desire to attempt the race in the opposite direction in the future. The presence of her father as a pacer during the second half of the race was highlighted as a special gift, aiding her in overcoming difficulties during the run.
Sharing the early miles with Katharina Hartmuth was inspiring, but it became a struggle when I lost the ability to eat during the final 10 hours of the race. My father pacing me in the second half was an incredible gift that helped me push through the tough moments, and it made the experience even more special. I’m eager to return and try the race in the opposite direction next time.
Finishing second in the Hardrock 100 was a rewarding challenge, especially given the difficulties I faced during the latter part of the race. I'm already thinking about how I can better prepare for my next attempt at it.
