Nathalie Cuny at the top of her art !

After a full day of race, 24 hour of Defi (read 24 hours of Challenge) has ended on May 17th at 18:15 at Nice on the well-known Boulevard call Promenade des Anglais.  Launched by the city and the Rotary Club, the aim of the race was to raise consciousness of the insertion of handicapped people in society.

The blind athlete, Nathalie Cuny, 48 years, guided by 22 persons had the objective of running 150 KM in 24 hours.

Mission accomplished!  Enough to enlighten this tired but happy champion, with a last 2 KM lap between the Verdure Theater and the Hotel Negresco.  
“ I had never run more than 42 km. I am very proud to have realized this record”, said Nathalie Cuny.

Nathalie just keeps on running…

And Nathalie has decided to break another personal record, in Nice on May 16th and 17th.

Nathalie, crowned several times French handisport champion for the 10 kilometre road race and for the 5000 metres on track, will be running to raise funds for the AVH and the MOZAHRT association based in Nice, by covering as great a distance as possible in 24 hours.

Nathalie, who is visually impaired, has run several marathons and will be assisted by several guides during this new bid.

So, go for it, Nathlie : we hope you’ll be able to make 150, or even 200 kilometres. All the best!
