V Trail in Laos set for 1 March

The 5th edition of Laos premier trail running event in Vang Vieng is scheduled for the weekend of 1/2 March. The renowned V Trail offers the usual race categories, but in the context of ATM it is important to distinguish between the 55km (ATM Championship points race) and the 85km (ATM Grandmaster Quest race). Over the years, V Trail has built up a reputation of being among the very toughest of jungle races in South East Asia. Certainly the 85km will challenge all participants. Runners like Milton Amat, Alessandro Sherpa, Salva Rambla, Irish Glorioso and Alex Tilley can all testify to that. At last year’s V Trail, we saw the emergence of competitive runners such as Hee Joo Jang from Korea, who won the race ahead of Siriporn Leumathong, who later both scored top ten placings in the women’s ATM Championship Final last September. France’s Arnaud Beck was fast on the 55km and the Thai duo of Sittisak Suwannee and Puttasit Wiwatsriprapha took top honours in the 85km.
