Mother with a message, and baby, in mountain marathon milk run



CHAMONIX (FRANCE) (AFP) -

Sophie Power completed the Ultra trail of Mont-Blanc (UTMB), the notorious 170km long mountain trail race whilst taking breaks to breastfeed her three-month-old son Cormac.

The 36-year-old mum of two took 43 hours to cover the highly demanding event and was keen to send out a message of inclusion for mothers of infants.

"I fed Cormac on the start line and my husband brought the pump to the other aid stations and was ferrying milk back to him," she explained after crossing the finishing line last week.

"Cormac is three months old - his older brother Donnacha was also in Courmayeur playing outside," she said.
