Nef-
George Foster? I gather he's cause quite a ripple...i'm not sure a lowlander has ever podiumed in any of the Matterhorn races before!
Edit: Just saw, another Brit came third in the shorter "mountain" race.
I know that a young British runner kept winning the Zermatt marathon a few years ago but not sure any Brits have done this well in the off trail events before.

This race happened today. Apparently there were some surprise performances. Results not released yet though. 25km with 3km of up and 3km of down. Mostly not on trails.

The ultratraks insta feed is worth a look to get an idea of the terrain.
