The Long Trail race of the Amazing Thailand World Mountain and Trail Running World Championships set off from the Chiang Mai Exhibition Centre at 6.30 am. Faced with 78km of rugged, technical trails and 4807m of elevation gain, the athletes pushed themselves to their limits to chase the dream of being world champion. It was the American Adam Petermann who was crowned World Long Trail Champion, winning in 7:15:53. He led this race from start to finish, offering no respite for his competitors. At the head of the race there were many competitors for the podium. It was France’s Nicolas Martin who took the second place early on, and which he would not relinquish under any circumstances. He won the silver medal in 7:28:44. For the third place the race was brutal. An epic battle between the Spaniards Jose Angel Fernandez Jimenez and Aritz Egea Caceres and the Italian Andreas Reiterer was ultimately won by Andreas in 7:36:50. Jose and Aritz finished in 4th place in 7:39:19 and 5th place in 7:48:42 respectively.
On the women's side, the race kept the spectators on their toes. Sweden’s Ida Nilsson, followed closely by the France’s Blandine L'Hirondelle, quickly took the lead over Switzerland’s Emma Pooley who led early on. During the second passage to the main team aid station, Ida started ahead of Blandine who stopped for 5 minutes to treat a weak ankle. This break was more than beneficial to her, she came back to the main aid station with a good lead over the Swede. Blandine L'Hirondel confirmed her domination of the discipline by completing the course in 8:22:14. Ida Nilsson came second in 8:34:59, twelve minutes after the Champion. Behind her, the third place is crucial and there are many contenders. Among them were the Spaniard Gemma Arenas Alcazar, the two inseparable French Audrey Tanguy and Marion Delespierre, the Hungarian Eszter Csillag neck and neck with the German Rosanna Buchauer. It is finally the Spanish Gemma Arenas Alcazar who took the lead to finish in 3rd place in 8:46:27. Less than three minutes later it was Eszter Csillag, the Hungarian who finished 4th in 8:49:24 just ahead of the German Rosanna Buchauer 5th in 8:50:45 and the French who finished hand in hand in 8:51:57. This women's finish was extremely close and incredible to experience! Congratulations to all of the athletes who put on such a spectacular show.
