Originally from Hungary now based in Hong Kong, Eszter Csillag made the most of her first ever visit to the United States by not only competing in the country's oldest 100 miler Western States 100 but placing 3rd in a very competitive year where records were broken!

The mother of two tells the story of how she gained entry into Western States, her vast experience of racing in South East Asia as well as a detailed recount of her race day from Olympic Valley to Auburn.

Eszter had an exceptional race year in 2022 where she placed 5th at UTMB and  represented her country at the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships placing 4th in the long course. 

We chat about all this and more.
