The North Face\u00ae, the world\u2019s premier supplier of authentic, innovative and technically advanced outdoor apparel, equipment and footwear, celebrates 1st<\/sup> place for The North Face\u00ae athletes Sebastien Chaigneau (FRA) and Fernanda Maciel (BRA), at the 123km ultra-race of The North Face\u00ae Transgrancanaria, Gran Canaria, Spain, 2nd<\/sup>-4th<\/sup>\u00a0 March, 2012.<\/p>\n

At the stroke of midnight (GMT) Friday 2nd<\/sup> March 2012, 600 ultra-runners from across Spain and Europe began the long night\u2019s run of either 123km or 96km through Gran Canaria\u2019s National Park, tackling the varied and demanding terrain that the island has on offer. Starting at Playa Del Ingles, in the south of the island, the 300 runners of the 123km race climbed to an accumulated height gain of 11,000m, to a maximum height of 1,949m at the highest point of the island, finishing at the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the north throughout Saturday afternoon and long into the night. Competitors in this year\u2019s races faced unusually strong winds and variable temperatures from 4-22\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Despite falling and injuring his knee at the beginning of the race, renowned French ultra-runner, and The North Face\u00ae performance athlete, Sebastien Chaigneau (FRA) was thrilled to take 1st<\/sup> place, finishing with a record time of 12h:54m:18s. Upon his win Chaigneau stated: \u201cThe race was tough as 70 percent of it is run during the night and there is a big change in temperature. I am really happy that I broke the record, although it was never my objective. When I run my main focus is the pleasure that I get out of it\u201d. Wearing The North Face trail-running shoe, the Single Track Hayasa, Chaigneau led the race from 42km in, cruising at a remarkable average speed of 10km per hour. Claiming the 2nd<\/sup> spot just over half an hour behind was Portuguese athlete Armando Teixeira (POR), with Uruguay based runner, John Tidd (ESP) taking 3rd<\/sup> place with a time of 14h:31m:50s.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s category, The North Face athlete, Fernanda Maciel (BRA) claimed women\u2019s 1st <\/sup>place and 5th<\/sup> overall in a strong time of 15h:02m:29s. Of the result, a delighted Maciel commented \u201cI am very happy because I had a great race, along a beautiful route and I really enjoyed myself\u201d. Fernanda arrived over two hours ahead of the second woman, Spanish runner Esther Fernandez Gonzalez (ESP) and more than four hours in front of Denise Zimmerman (SUI), who placed third.<\/p>\n
