Today the spotlights were on the South Korean trail event High Trail 9 Peaks Ulju, which is scheduled to be a points race in the Asia Trail Master Championship series this autumn (normally mid-October). Even though right now it is winter time in South Korea and that means snow sometimes, we are happy to have two great teams in our 7 Missions event this week. Team CP Namsan Trail and Team Running For Seven. The CP Namsan Trail team is currently even in 7th place in the overall team ranking! In the below video, with subtitles, our Korean runners talk briefly about themselves, the team and the High Trail 9 Peaks event.

HT9PU is also the sponsor of our Mountain Goat Trophy at the 7 Missions. Podium placers of today's 10k stage and the overall Mountain Goat Trophy will get nice prizes for their efforts, such as a travel package to the event in South Korea later this year!

The second 10K of the 7 Missions week saw most faster runners taking a break from real racing. Team Imodium’s Gary Mullins, on the other hand, was one of few who improved on his best time from last Monday during Mission I. Mullins was fastest of the day with 36’45”. His Team Imodium also again took the Mission victory, just like yesterday. A combination of speed and clever elevation tactics does the trick! In the battle for the overall classification, MKRC Boleh continues to lead the T8 Kings of Quarantine and Team Imodium, with Uglow+A in fourth.

Second Mission Win in a row! Team Imodium from Sydney, Australia
