A t-shirt, a beard, the Pyrenees and a mystery: Ben Dhiman’s story has left us as stunned and as cool as he is. The Americain from Bigorre swallowed the biggest US treks at the age of 20, finished 3rd in the Diagonale des Fous (Reunion Island) without the obligatory jersey and sprinted at the Templiers 2023 (France). Beneath his teddy-bear exterior, Team Asics’ new recruit is one of the wolrd’s top 5 ultra-trailers, equally at home crossing the Himalayas in 42 days. [Update] Ben Dhiman got his season off to a good start by winning the tough Madeira Island Ultra Trail on the 27th of April 2024, 115km in 13h52. Let’s meet him.
