Author: [Chloé Blanchard](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/author/chloe-blanchard) Published On: September 19, 2023 Published In: [Life Science & Nutrition](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/tag/life-science-nutrition) He has reached the top! Sébastien Raichon wins the Tor des Glaciers for a second time, one of the longest races in the world! A long journey of 450km in the Aosta Valley, a wild, demanding route, brushing up against the Alpine glaciers. ## **An extraordinary performance**   114 hours 29 minutes including 7 hours of sleep, 425km, 32,000m of elevation gain, beating his own record last year by 10 hours and 20 hours better than the record 2 years ago; the numbers are staggering!     ![Podium TOR X Live](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ACCES%20RESERVE%20-%20NE%20PAS%20MODIFIER%20-%20Fichiers%20web%20et%20associ%C3%A9s/images%20blog/Podium%20TOR%20X%20Live.jpg?width=480&height=268&name=Podium%20TOR%20X%20Live.jpg)   He accomplished this feat as a lone wolf with only a few express stops in shelters to receive food and drinks. Despite battling against the heat, pain in his leg muscles, a storm at high altitude, end-of-the-world atmospheres, emotional tears... giving up was not an option.       ## **An excellent nutritional ally with Baobab Workout from Natural Origins** *"I experienced an extraordinary race in terms of emotion, competition, landscape. It was crazy! I trained well this summer, I was in Olympic shape. There was huge competition this year with strong opponents who pushed me to redouble my efforts. I could never tell myself that I was going to finish peacefully and that’s also why I beat my own record."*   ![Seb binome](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ACCES%20RESERVE%20-%20NE%20PAS%20MODIFIER%20-%20Fichiers%20web%20et%20associ%C3%A9s/images%20blog/Seb%20binome.jpg?width=480&height=378&name=Seb%20binome.jpg)   Sébastien is delighted to have been able to move forward with the [Baobab Workout from Natural Origins](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/baobab-workout-powder-the-best-of-the-plant-for-the-sports-nutrition-market) which allowed him to hydrate while stocking up on good nutrients. *“During the first 48 hours I had a lot of trouble eating properly, the baobab helped me a lot to give me energy”.* Protein bars on the other hand did not help him, with such effort in the heat, it was not the most suitable solution.     ## **Surpassing oneself**   *“The Tor des Glaciers is truly the most difficult and most beautiful race of my solo sporting career”* announces Sébastien. He flourishes in this discipline which transports him to timeless spheres and makes him come alive. Proof that having self-confidence can allow us to move forward, surpass our own limits and be happy by making our dreams come true!   ![Sebastien-Raichon_Tor-des-glaciers-1-1030x605](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ACCES%20RESERVE%20-%20NE%20PAS%20MODIFIER%20-%20Fichiers%20web%20et%20associ%C3%A9s/images%20blog/Sebastien-Raichon_Tor-des-glaciers-1-1030x605.jpg?width=480&height=282&name=Sebastien-Raichon_Tor-des-glaciers-1-1030x605.jpg) The entire Natural Origins team congratulates Sébastien on this extraordinary feat.
