On Day Four, runners finally reached the Pacific Ocean. Here, Sebastien Chaigneau runs the final stretch of beach before arriving at the finish line. Sebastien’s presence in this race was a beautiful thing to watch; he spent every night laughing with his fellow runners, exchanging everything from recovery tips to Chilean wine.
