These results were delayed coming through from Kyrgyzstan but given the remoteness of this course, there’s little surprise there. This race takes place on trails that are rarely used and where any communication but GPS tracking is unworkable. It’s a very BTU place to race!
Yesterday the runners were faced with everything the mountains can throw at you. A mild early morning gave way to searing sunshine just in time for the really arduous climbing, only to then give way to wind and hail. A storm on the horizon threatened to sweep the course at one time but mercifully dissipated in the distance.
By all accounts, Stage Three has been much the same so far. Sunny and mild on lower ground. Cold and harsh at height.
The results of Stage Two and the overall standings so far are below:
