Jiaju Zhao and Wenfei Xie (both China) have won the 100 miles UTMB Mount Yun race in China. Ji Duo and Anna Li (both China) won the 100 kilometres race.
All podium places in the 100m, 100k and 50k races went to China, which wasn’t a surprise because there were hardly any non-Chinese trail runners competing.
Zhao needed 17 hours, 5 minutes and 57 seconds to complete the 143,7 kilometres (7505m+). With that time he was more than half an hour faster than Jiqian Wang, who came in second in 17:39:28. Weiqiang Zhang finished third in 19:15:32.
