Here it is, the Gripmaster’s director’s cut of the Transalpine Run 2009.

Froggy and the Gripmaster on the surface of the Red Planet! What NASA never achieved, Gripmasterfilms made it possible – Trailrunning on Mars… Risking their lives and their formerly white shoes, those two fearless trailrunners of the Salomon Team have crossed this hostile red desert, and all without oygen supplies.
