South Africa’s Sylvie Scherzinger claimed victory in the women’s 100 miler-distance category at the inaugural Mountain Ultra Trail (MUT) by UTMB in George on Sunday, 28 May 2023.
The event welcomed 1 450 local and international runners to the Western Cape over the past weekend across six distances.
Racing set off at 14h00 on Friday, 26 May, with the women’s start list featuring Sylvie Schezinger (RSA), Michelle Gordon (RSA), Danelle Joubert (RSA) and Colleen Browne (RSA).
However, it was Scherzinger who took the top spot by claiming victory in the women’s category in a time of 38:4524.
On her women’s 100-Miler distance category victory, Scherzinger commented, “Oh my gosh, that was insane! It was like a mud bath; it was so slippery which made it difficult to run. I was aiming for around 35 hours but with that mud, I was slowed down drastically.”
She continues, “The course is fantastic. Those were some of the best views I have ever seen. The whole course is just breath-taking, the wilderness, the mountains, it is all just mind-blowing!”
