Grandmaster Quest: updated list published
Still at the beginning of Season 10 in the Asia Trail Master series, there’s three runners who have completed the fourth and last level of the Grandmaster Quest. Japanese runners Hisashi Kitamura and Masafumi Yamamoto were joined by the first female 4-Star Grandmaster Rhea Batac from Manila in the Philippines in July 2024.
There’s 9 runners wearing the 3-star badge at the moment, with Tomohiro Mizukoshi (JPN) and Ruth Theresia (INA) both on the verge of scoring their final 4th star.
The full list of ATM Grandmasters has been updated following the Lam Dong Trail in Vietnam on 9 November 2024. SC 70 and Mt Apo Sky Race will be processed in the coming week. The Grandmaster list will now be updated every month. As previously mentioned, due to the fact that event organisers all use different time-keeping and results producers it is often difficult to keep track of each runner’s achievements. Please contact us on info@asiatrailmaster.com or via our facebook page messenger if your GM finisher result(s) have not been incorporated already. Thank you.
The Grandmaster Hall of Fame is also being updated , as we are changing systems. Furthermore, as of January 2025 there will be an extra token of achievement coming! Stay tuned..
Rhea Batac is the first female 4-star Grandmaster. She joined Japanese runners Hisashi KItamura and Masafumi Yamamoto as the only trail runners to have reached 20 ultra finishes.
