Tarawera Ultramarathon by UTMB – Rotorua, New Zealand

Around 5,000 runners participated in the different races of the event.The 102K Run That iRunFar Covered Extensively, was again the best distance, but the 100 miles and 50 km also had some star power.

The 102 km race was in 2023western states 100Golden Ticket Race, in which two tickets each are awarded to the top male and female finishers.

While race days have had good weather this year, previous storms have caused problems on the regular 102km and 100 mile courses, forcing them to change routes at the last minute. We believe that the 50 km and 21 km races were held on their normal routes.

102k

The first seven women finished in quick succession.nancy jiang(New Zealand) led this group by 9:26 but came close. Jiang just pushedStephanie Austin(Australia) for 81 seconds. Austin finished in 9:27.Aroa Sio(Spain) was third at 9:30, with just 11 minutes separating the top five women.

The gap between men at the top was greater thandaniel jones(New Zealand) andHayden Hawks(USA) took off. In the end, Jones passed Hawks with a final time of 7:27, a far cry from Hawks and everyone else. Hawks followed at 7:42, andRyan Montgomery(USA) moved up to third on an 8-11 run.

Where just 11 minutes separated the top five women, the men's gap was 56 minutes thanks to Jones' smoke.
