ITI350 - FINISHERS

New Zealand can be proud of Kiwi bike athlete Nina Stupples who completed her first ITI350 today at 04:23. Nina was new to ITI last year and she has mastered a longer distance this year in much more challenging conditions. Her unwavering willpower carried her though the tough patches and at no point during the race did Nina let hard challenges deter her.

Another great racer finishing ITI350 today is Minnesota foot athlete Kari Gibbons, who crossed the finish line at 05:19.

Kari’s tenacity along the Trail is a testament to her solid experience as an ultra athlete. The ultimate “Trail Sister”, Kari is a fantastic team player and when not on the ITI, she can be found braving other ultra with racing partner Kate Coward, this year’s ITI350 Bike Champion.

Minnesota breeds strong talent with two women winning ITI350 Champion titles this year. The “Wild Winter Women” group the women are part of has some celebrating to do after such great results on the ITI Trail.

Completing this year’s tough edition is certainly a great achievement for all our athletes.

Well done Nina and Kari!
