00:00Well, we put on our hiking gear now as Island Hikers Brutal 2026 saw the King and Queen of the
00:06Hills,
00:06Michael Honoré, and Patricia Sorayas defended their titles yet again.
00:11Over 100 participants took part in the annual El Tukuch Loop Race on Saturday,
00:16which saw Honoré setting a new course record.
00:20Only big guns.
00:24And then we have the huge gun.
00:28Let's go!
00:28The big guns indeed came out as it was the calm before the brutality
00:33as Island Hikers Brutal 2026 took hikers through the peaks and troughs of El Tukuch Loop.
00:39The steep El Tukuch Climb was the first challenge followed by the descent to Maracas Bay
00:44before taking the competitors back up the Luango Mountain to complete the loop at Hobart Trace in Maracas St. Joseph.
00:50It could take the average hiker as much as five hours or more to complete the 11-mile terrain,
00:56but Michael Honoré isn't your average hiker as he defended his brutal title for the fifth time
01:01in a new course record of two hours and 36 minutes.
01:08It was a closer finish between the next two men with TNT's Lorenzo Young taking second ahead of Willie Vite
01:14Lingham of Guadeloupe.
01:16As for the woman, Patricia Sorayas proved she's still the Hill Queen winning her sixth crown.
01:26Let's go and pack!
01:27Tobago's Crystal Scintilla took second among the women followed by Patrice Chang of Jamaica.
01:32Cleve Pyle led the way, finishing first in the 60-and-over category followed by Christopher Steadman and Mark Lee
01:39Son.
01:40And after conquering Brutal, there's no way better to recover than a dip in Morang Waterfall.
01:46Front group, front group, front group and dexter.

01:55Not on the other side.
