Ushuaia Fin del Mundo by UTMB changed their name from Valhöll Fin del Mundo – not sure why? Maybe to reflect the region the event is held better. This year’s event was also affected by weather with the two longer races, the Epic 130K and Advance 85K been forced to get cut short and the runners were pulled off the course. UTMB’s communication:
Dear competitors, due to the inclement weather that occurred on Saturday afternoon and the unfavorable weather forecasts for the coming hours, race comitee have decided to neutralize the competition at the Tierra Mayor, Cerro Castor, Popper, and Valle de Lobos checkpoints.
Neutralized runners will be classified as finishers based on the maximum accumulated distance and time.
The running stones corresponding to the respective distance will be awarded only if the distance covered is more than 50% of official course.
This affects the DNF numbers I pulled from the UTMB Live website and therefore a few numbers aren’t fully correct here. It also shows UTMB’s continued struggle with the weather and events held during the “shoulder season”.
