TRAIL UPDATE
ITI350 - IT'S A WRAP
Race athletes Robert Sullivan and Keith Eckert finished the race at 20:00.
This concludes the 2020 edition of ITI350.
Thank you to all our volunteers for helping out on the Trail and at checkpoints.
As racers finish the race with a meal at Tracy and Peter Scheinderheinze’s house, we would like to thank them both for the warm welcome they offer to our ITI community every year. More on Tracy and Peter as they deserve more column inches.
ITI1000
Casey Fagerquist has taken the lead of course, riding out of Cripple to secure a gap between him and his fellow racers.
Behind him is Jill Martindale who has just arrived in Cripple.
Close behind her and riding together are Petr Ineman and Jussi Karjalainen, followed by Finnish bike athlete Toni Lund.
Leading foot racer Beat Jegerlehner and Danish skier Asbjørn Skjøth Bruun are progressing fast together towards Cripple.
Just behind them are Kiwi racers George Adams aka Lefto and Graham Muir aka Bush who are catching up fast.
Italian bike athletes Willy Mulonia and Roberto Gazzoli are currently resting in Ophir.
Austrian fan favourite and foot athlete Klaus Schweinberger is our red lantern.
ITI Veteran and foot athlete Jill Homer is ending the race in McGrath. Jill considered carefully going forward but decided to keep safe as the next section of the race is very demanding.
Another foot racer to end the race is UK athlete Mark Hines. Mark has been suffering from a chest infection and has chosen it was safer to finish in McGrath.
Both athletes have shown great tenacity over the many challenges the Trail has thrown at them this year.
Well done Jill and Mark for a great race until McGrath!
